PRPlayers

Medical Workshops and Courses

Over the years, Professional Role Players (PRP) has partnered with healthcare organisations across the UK to deliver powerful, roleplay-driven training that transforms learning into lived experience.

Our highly skilled medical role players bring realism, empathy, and nuance to every session, helping participants apply new skills immediately both in and beyond the classroom.

Roleplay That Makes a Difference

Our professionally trained actors work alongside specialist trainers to bring your workshops to life. With unparalleled experience in medical communication and behavioural scenarios, they create a safe, supportive space where learners can practice, reflect, and grow.

Whether working from pre-written scripts or improvising in-the-moment, our role players are flexible, responsive, and deeply attuned to your training objectives.

Realistic Performances, Real Impact

At PRP, we understand that role play is not acting. That’s why our performers are trained to deliver honest, grounded portrayals that reflect the complexities of real-life clinical interactions. The result? Training that feels authentic, engaging, and deeply memorable.

Our role players are also trained to deliver constructive, insightful feedback, enhancing the learning experience and deepening behavioural insight.

Diversity & Representation

We are proud to provide a diverse role play team of all ages, genders, and ethnicities supporting inclusive learning and ensuring scenarios reflect the diversity of real-world healthcare.

With a strong work ethic, clinical awareness, and a commitment to excellence, our role players consistently add value to every training programme they support.

Case Studies

Clients

The scenarios we have requested the actors to engage with have been varied and sometimes the role players have been required to absorb information very quickly and on the spot. There have even been times when the audience have forgotten the interviewee is a role player rather than a real patient.

Saija Lukkaroinen, Postgraduate Centre Administrator, SLAM

On the courses that we have been running in Stoke, the actors have all been really good, here on time, believable in their roles and very adaptable to the situation.

Angela Rhodes, Business Support Manager, Atos Healthcare

I have been consistently impressed with your role players, who can convincingly act out a range of different roles, characters and emotions.

Matthew Todres, International Tutor, Kings College London

UCLH has benefited enormously from the unique set of skills that PRP have contributed to our culture transformation programmes. It is terrific working with you and your team.

Professor Aidan Halligan, Director of Education, UCLH

The course was very successful with the highest praise for the role play sessions in terms of content and quality. They scored maximum ratings for both.

Anne Joshua, Pharmacy Consultant

I wanted to provide good feedback for the actor who attended UCLH for a role play. I have received great feedback for the role player's acting and participation. The managers have complimented highly of the acting and will recommend that they attend again in future for similar role plays.

Ruzina Begum, HR Advisor, UCLH

My experience of the Actors has been extremely positive. They have responded and asked questions of the trainers and given constructive feedback to the Trainees. On the last day when things are a little more fluid, they have shown flexibility and offered excellent support and live, at the time feedback which the Trainees found to be very useful.

Michelle McCann, Home Bases Health Practitioner, Atos Healthcare

Just wanted to thank you for the four actors that you sent today. The trainees at the course found the actors' feedback really useful and constructive and, as always, I was very pleased with the performance of all four of the actors!

Dr Declan Hyland, Deputy Clinical Director (Year 4) and Specialty Lead, University of Liverpool

The role players played a huge part in our AAC panel, please pass on our gratitude, they were brilliant! Your service was exceptional and I look forward to working with PRP soon.
