Your year, your starting point

Choose the practice that fits your stage

Universities teach in different orders. These are suggested starting points, not a fixed curriculum: you choose what you have already studied and how much support you want.

The free trial uses one fixed Year 2 case so everyone can compare the same experience. Your chosen stage is remembered for account setup and your recommended next step.

Built around how students actually practise

Less passive reading. More useful rehearsal.

01

Make decisions, not just notes

Use taught pharmacology and clinical knowledge in fictional patient, prescription and communication scenarios.

02

Build confidence before placement

Rehearse what to ask, what to check, how to explain and when to escalate before a real patient is involved.

03

Receive useful feedback

See why a decision was safer, what information mattered and what to revisit, rather than only receiving a score.

04

Choose practice for your stage

Select your year, subjects already studied and preferred support. No progress checker is required.

Designed for the direction of modern pharmacy education. Current GPhC guidance emphasises progressive complexity, consultation, professional judgement, risk and prescribing. Medicine in Practice provides optional simulation practice around those skills; it is not GPhC accredited or endorsed.

Questions students ask

Know what this is before you start

Which year of the MPharm is this for?
Years 1 to 4 and trainee pharmacists can choose a suggested starting point, then select the subjects they have already studied. Course order varies by university, so the platform does not assume that every learner in a year has covered the same content.
Will this prepare me for placement?
It can help you rehearse consultation, medicines-safety, documentation and escalation decisions before placement. It complements, but cannot replace, supervised contact with patients or your university placement requirements.
Is the student pathway on sale?
Not yet. The paid student scenario library is completing clinical and educational review. The selected Demo Lab and Clinical Games Arcade catalogue are open to browse now, and the waitlist will tell you when reviewed access becomes available.
Does a certificate prove I am competent?
No. Results and records show learning and performance in fictional simulations. They do not authorise clinical work, replace workplace observation or provide regulatory competence sign-off.
