Abstract

This article delves into standardised patients’ (SP) roles in healthcare education, using role-play and in-person methodology for realistic scenario simulation and learner technical and non-technical skill enhancement. Key to the success of the SP programme are phases like recruitment, onboarding, training and continuous quality improvement, cultivating a qualified pool of engaged SPs. Sustained SP engagement involves strategies such as tailored training sessions, quizzes, just-in-time videos and anaesthesia-specific self-assessment tools. The benefits of sessions led by SPs lie in their flexibility, providing anaesthesia learners with a controlled, experiential learning environment, where they can safely learn from mistakes. Addressing challenges in launching SP programmes for training, the article underscores clear objectives, strategic resource allocation, curriculum integration and specialised SP training. Implementing technology, quality assurance and ongoing evaluations are vital for dynamic SP programmes. The article advocates holistic SP programme implementation and optimisation, with continuous improvement for acquiring skills by anaesthesia professionals.
