Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS) at the University of Kent requires an agency to provide simulated/standardised patients (SPs) for safe clinical training of medical students. SPs are used in teaching and assessment of clinical and communication skills, which are core competencies recognized by the General Medical Council. The contract is a direct award to Peel Roleplay, an established provider with a 6-year relationship, due to their high quality, reliability, and lack of comparable local alternatives. The service involves ongoing provision for medical student training and assessment.
