For students

Walk in ready.Practise the casesbefore you live them.

Simulated patient consultations, on your time. Practise clinical reasoning, communication, and decision-making: before placement, before the OSCE, before the ward.

What we hear from students

Placement can't show you everything.

Preparation

Walk in ready, not hoping.

Some students want to be as prepared as possible before they set foot on the ward. SimHealth lets you practise the cases most likely to come up, before they do.

Fill the gaps

See what placement hasn't shown you yet.

The patients you encounter are down to timing, location, and chance. SimHealth lets you seek out the presentations and specialities you haven't had exposure to, on your own schedule.

Act on feedback

Turn supervisor notes into practice.

Got feedback on your communication or clinical reasoning? Go back in and work on it with a patient who responds the way a real one would, and try again until it clicks.

What you get

The closest thing to placement that isn't placement.

Simulated patients

Live video conversations, not chatbots. Patients respond, hesitate, and follow up just like the ward.

50+ cases across specialities

Weight management, gastroenterology, dementia care, and more. Each one adapts in real time to your decisions.

Instant structured feedback

A 40-point rubric scores empathy, clarity, and triage after every session. Results are yours straight away.

Evidence for your portfolio

Every session is logged and exportable. Proof of practice you can show at OSCE, in interviews, or to your supervisor.

Inside the platform
SimHealth session view — live simulated patient consultation with case context, vitals, and clinical notes
Session view

Run a real consultation, before it counts.

Live video with a simulated patient who responds, hesitates, and follows up. Case context, vitals, and your notes stay one tab away — practise the consultation as it’ll actually happen.

How a session works

Inside a SimHealth session.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Students are assigned cases mapped to programme learning outcomes and placement hour requirements, so every session has a clear clinical purpose before it starts.

  2. 02

    Consult

    A real conversation with an AI patient who responds naturally, hesitates, and reacts. Students get the communication practice that only comes from a live clinical encounter.

  3. 03

    Document

    After each consultation, students write clinical notes exactly as they would on placement, building the documentation habit that regulators and supervisors will assess from day one.

  4. 04

    Feedback

    Every session is assessed against a 40-point competency rubric covering empathy, clinical reasoning, communication, and triage, mapped to the standards your professional body already expects.

  5. 05

    Reflect

    Students complete structured self-reflection, engage in peer feedback, and build an evidence portfolio of their learning. Every session becomes something they can point to.

Built to standard

Every session maps to HCPC, NMC, GMC, and BDA standards — so the evidence you generate is recognised by the bodies that already assess you.

The simulated clinics felt realistic and gave me the confidence to practise my clinical reasoning in a safe space.
First-year dietetics studentUniversity of East Anglia, 2025
I genuinely found so much benefit from these four weeks. I'll go into my next placement feeling much more prepared.
Final-year dietetics studentHealth Sciences University, 2025
The realistic case studies allowed me to apply dietetic knowledge in a safe, supportive environment, and the structured feedback helped me grow both professionally and personally.
Final-year dietetics studentUniversity of East Anglia, 2025
Exactly what I needed to bridge the gap between theory and practice before my placement. I went in more confident and prepared for real-world clinical challenges.
Final-year dietetics studentHealth Sciences University, 2025
A great opportunity to adapt to a real-life scenario, gain confidence in assessing patient cases, and give personalised goals.
