The Organisation is headquartered and operates within the United Kingdom. PRP Ltd also supports the international delivery of training and examinations through its digital platform, Osler Online, enabling candidates, examiners and other stakeholders to participate from locations worldwide.
The main activities carried out by the Organisation are the supply of professional role players for medical and corporate training and examinations; the provision of an online training and examination platform; and the design and development of training courses and examinations.
