Healthcare simulation,
digitally transformed.
SimEPR is a web-based educational electronic patient record platform that helps educators deliver realistic, scalable and digitally enabled simulation.
THE PROBLEM
Learners are entering clinical environments where electronic patient records are part of everyday care.
Yet many simulation programmes still rely on paper notes, disconnected documentation and manual preparation.
SimEPR bridges that gap by giving learners a safe, realistic environment to practise digital documentation, prescribing, investigation requests and clinical decision-making before they reach practice.
THE SOLUTION
SimEPR is the UK’s most advanced educational electronic patient record platform for simulation training, trusted by over 30 institutional clients across the UK and Australia.
It helps healthcare educators deliver realistic, scalable and digitally enabled simulation.
With no installation required, SimEPR's web-based app supports multiple teaching formats, from single-patient simulation with a manikin, to collaborative multi-patient ward simulation, and independent objective-based learning in the classroom or at home.
We're proud to support over 30 institutional clients across the UK and Australia to deliver realistic, scalable and digitally enabled simulation training.

Improve training fidelity, strengthen learning outcomes and build confidence with digital clinical workflows before entering practice.
Reduce preparation time, monitor learner activity and use digital records to support richer debriefing, feedback and assessment.
Deliver scalable, paperless simulation education while supporting digital readiness, sustainability and tariff-eligible simulation programmes, including Simulated Practice Learning (SPL) placements
In a study of over 200 trainees, 86% reported greater realism using SimEPR compared with paper notes, while 83% reported improved clinical learning.
Highlights the educational benefits of using SimEPR, including improved authenticity, alignment with real clinical workflows, and development of digital fluency.
Demonstrated how SimEPR supports realisticdigital documentation, data access, and electronic handover during interprofessional trauma simulation.
“SimEPR has been an invaluable tool for the School of Health and Social Wellbeing at the University of the West of England, significantly enhancing our healthcare simulations by complementing the use of manikins and standardised patients. Its versatility has allowed us to integrate it into various scenarios, including tabletop exercises. For instance, during a recent multi-professional major event simulation, we populated a simulated accident and emergency department with numerous 'virtual patients' through SimEPR. This required the attending staff to make informed clinical decisions, diagnosing, treating, referring, and discharging patients ahead of the arrival of mass casualties (standardised patients and manikins) from the incident scene. Traditionally, these roles would have been filled by paid actors, requiring significant preparation and resources. By using SimEPR, we not only saved costs but also reduced the need for additional staffing, making the simulation more efficient whilst still engaging and interactive.”
Learners practise common digital clinical workflows, including documentation, observations, prescribing, investigation requests, results review and clinical assessments.
Documentation — create and review notes, proformas and patient records.
Observations and charts — review electronic observations, charts and fluid balance.
Prescribing — review medication, prescribe and administer medication.
Investigations — request and review blood gas, laboratory and radiology results.
Requests and referrals — practise requesting investigations, making referrals and documenting clinical requests clearly and concisely.
Primary and secondary care — use hospital, GP and community-style EPR environments to support education across acute, primary and community care settings.
Move beyond paper-based simulation with real-time scenario control, visible learner activity and exportable records.
SimEPR’s Editor Mode allows faculty to build reusable patient scenarios, automate observations and investigation results, and reset cases at the end of each session for repeat delivery.
SimEPR’s Controller allows faculty to monitor learner activity and push observations, investigation results and updates that dynamically change the patient record in real time as the simulation progresses.
Export timestamped simulation activity to support structured debriefing, learner portfolios and evidence of training for tariff-funded Simulated Practice Learning programmes.
SimEPR supports conventional single-patient simulation, collaborative simulated wards and independent case-based learning in the classroom or at home
Single patient simulations
Suitable for single-patient simulations involving an acutely unwell or deteriorating patient. A familiar format for hospital-based simulation departments.
Collaborative simulated wards
Deliver ward-based simulation with multiple learners collaborating across up to 15 patients. Suitable for multi-professional education and Simulated Practice Learning placements.
Independent objective-based learning
Support independent case-based learning for up to 250 learners per SimClass session, in the classroom or at home. Multiple SimClass sessions can run in parallel, with faculty able to review, mark and export submitted work.
