Our actor role players

Actor role players

Our experienced actor role players are trained in role depiction, confidentiality, equality and diversity, feedback and debriefing. They are available to support, examinations, selection interviews – and act in the role of service users and lay individuals on selection panels.

For examination situations, they are trained in standardisation and scoring.

We can provide actor role players, in large or small numbers and we are experts in hybrid and multi modal simulation (linking actor role players with technology – and working with actor role players alongside technology).

If you’re creating training resources, our reliable actor role players are experienced in working with film crews. All our actor role players are fully consented to take part in simulation-based education (SBE) and for photography and filming.

Actors for systems testing, incidents & evacuations

Whether you intend to test a system, stage a serious incident or practice evacuation procedures, we can provide experienced actor role players in large or small numbers. They can role play seriously ill or injured, walking wounded, confused or distressed individuals.

We also offer a moulage service. Our actor role players can be made-up to present with ‘wounds’ or ‘injuries’ and be clothed appropriately for the situation.

Actors for interviews & candidate selection

We can provide expert service users to join your selection panels.

If part of your interview process is involving the candidate in a role play exercise, then our actor role players can help. They are experienced in role depiction, standardisation, confidentiality, equality and diversity, feedback and debriefing.

Hear from our clients

The actors are well regarded and appreciated both by my learners and me because they present the scenarios I supply them with, so well that the learners find them indistinguishable from the "real thing"! This is a first class service that helps me train the family doctors of the future.

GP Teacher

Successful learning using SPs requires a great deal of expertise and – ideally – a lot of experience of using SPs. This is absolutely crucial all the way from the management of the cohort of SPs and booking their services through to ongoing training and development. SimComm does this seamlessly.

Regional Education Lead

As a coach for GP Trainees I have used the actors on very many occasions over the last few years to provide realistic "patients" for my learners to practice their consultation skills prior to taking their professional exam (MRCGP). The efficiency of the personnel arranging the simulated patients is really excellent.

GP Trainer

I work all over the country and see a great deal of variation in how simulated learning is conducted. Some localities look at training using ‘actors’ as a frivolous addition to healthcare education, not an element which is absolutely key to providing effective healthcare professionals of the future. SimComm has that key.
