The Demo Lab
Eleven scenarios from the real practice labs, in one ladder from day-one basics to genuinely hard - including a live patient call you type your way through. Every one is scored against a model answer, exactly as it is inside the programmes. Start at 1, or jump to the hard end: if you are experienced, that is where you find out what this is worth.
Everything here is fictional and safe to get wrong - getting one wrong is the point. The ladder gets steeper as you go, and the scorecard at the end shows you exactly where you slipped.
They start easy and get harder
Scenario 1 is day-one work; by 11 you are in genuinely difficult territory. Work up in order, or jump in wherever it stops feeling easy.
An HbA1c result lands in your inbox
The warm-up. File it, or act on it? Prove you can make the routine calls fast - and correctly - because the day never sends them one at a time.
A discharge summary to action
An overnight admission comes home. What changed, what needs coding, what needs follow-up? The bread and butter of the document workflow.
A clinic review letter to code
Read the letter and catch everything that needs a code. Miss one and the register - and the practice income - quietly drifts wrong.
A live patient call: the tablet that was quietly stopped
Not multiple choice. You type what you would actually say, the patient answers, and then every element you elicited - and every one you missed - is scored. This is the part a sample usually cannot show.
Polypharmacy after a fall
An older patient, a fall, a long repeat list. Work out what to keep, what to change and what to stop - then compare against the model plan.
An INR result on warfarin
The number is only the start. What exactly do you do, in what order, and what do you safety-net?
A penicillin allergy that was missed
Something went wrong. Run the analysis properly: find the system causes, not a scapegoat, and pick changes that would actually hold.
Stroke vs TIA
One wrong code here follows the patient for life - registers, recalls, insurance, the lot. The letter tells you which it is, if you read it properly.
A rheumatology clinic letter
More than one trap in a single letter. Every action is scored, including the ones you miss.
A blood result on a complex regimen
How serious is it, how fast must you move, and is the action you take actually safe? Decide - then see the model answer.
A high-risk medicines review
The boss case. She feels "a bit shaky and off" and her repeat list is full of risk. Find what matters - most people miss something first time.
The parts a demo can only hint at
The scored ladder is desk work plus one patient call. Inside, the simulation goes a lot further - this is what a passive course cannot give you.
Type what you would say; an AI patient answers in character. You are scored on what you elicited, the red flags, ICE and your safety-net.
Try the scripted callA timed clinic day: results, queries and interruptions arrive together and you triage under pressure, with a debrief at the end.
See it in the tourA full mock EMIS-style record: patients, the appointment book, task inbox and document workflow, so you practise the whole job, not one task.
See it in the tourOne platform, a different job for every seat
The same fictional patients and scored simulations, doing a different job for each person in the building.
Delegation with evidence: a scored record of what each team member can safely handle, so checking behind people gives way to oversight. GP registrars get the ST3 prescribing clinic and pharmacist review.

Explore the curriculumThe same labs levelled for the technician role and scope of practice, with their own programme and assessment.

The same scenarios come with a manager view: invite your team, see completion and simulated-practice scores per person, review mapped learning outcomes and export a dated training summary. Use it alongside local induction, supervision and workplace assessment when preparing for appraisal or CQC conversations.
Medicine in Practice records online learning and simulated performance. It does not make workplace competency decisions or provide GPhC or CQC accreditation.

That was a taste. The programmes go far wider - and teach you first
Inside: the full letter, coding, review and results banks, the patient calls, the Clinic Simulator and the complete Clinical System. Each is opened by a module that teaches the task before simulated practice, followed by a programme assessment and verifiable learning record. Full teaching and practice banks unlock with the relevant programme.
