OSCE practice software

Hi everyone,

I’m a doctor who writes software for the NHS. I’ve built a web app that’s used at my Trust to run simulation and OSCE-style teaching in a realistic electronic patient record (EPR) environment.

The app allows learners to interact with a simulated patient record much like they would in clinical practice. They can request and receive blood tests or imaging, review observations, prescribe medications, read patient documentation, and work through the case as it unfolds. The platform includes pre-built scenarios and records key actions (for example, when imaging is requested, medications are prescribed, or examinations are performed), making it easier for facilitators to provide structured feedback afterwards.

My Trust has asked me to explore whether there might be interest in adapting something like this for medical students preparing for OSCEs.
Im not convinced, as when I was a student I’d just take scenarios from places like geekymedics and run through those with my friends, but would appreciate any input so I can feed it back.

Is this something that you’d have interest in using? For free or for a small cost? If not, what would make it worthwhile if anything?

I am an ITU doctor on a quiet night shift. AMA (no medical advice!)

I work in the intensive care unit of a large NHS hospital as a resident doctor. I obviously can’t provide you with medical advice, but happy to answer any questions you may have, be it morbid curiosity or anything else. It’ll be a good way to keep me occupied while I sit and watch the clock.
