Geeky Medics Webinar:
Building virtual patients with large language models: lessons from real-world use
Thursday 19th February 13.00 – 14.00
In this webinar, we will share our experience at Geeky Medics building and delivering virtual patients for healthcare simulation using large language models.
Drawing on over half a million virtual patient consultations and a library of more than 700 patient scripts, we will discuss what has worked well, how learners use virtual patients in practice, and the challenges of delivering conversational simulations across text, audio, and video-avatars.
Open to ASPiH members and non-members:
Join us for our second TfS in Practice webinar, where Rose Edwards from University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust, England will talk about preparing staff, buildings, equipment and processes for service relocation using transformative simulation.
She’ll reflect on:
- What principles and intentions shaped the work (SBIs)
- What theories supported the process (e.g. Human Factors, relational models, QI)
- How the 4 D’s evolved in practice (Design, Delivery, Data, Debrief)

Future Presenters - ASPIH webinar series for members
If you’d like to present a webinar for our ASPiH members please do get in touch HERE.
Our webinar sessions are usually an hour – but we can be longer or create a series of sessions if this suits your topic.
ASPiH will host the session, with a minimum of one executive member hosting the session to support you.
We utilise MS Teams or Zoom: Zoom is our preference to have a recording of the session for members to go back to watch.
The format can be a didactic presentation, an interview style conversation, and include elements of interaction afforded to us via the virtual platform.
We ask for presenters to
- Create a session title
- Prepare a short outline of the session with 1-3 learning outcomes & signposting to references if applicable
- Supply correct name and job title
- Consider if you’d like an associated twitter chat – either pre- or post the webinar: the benefits are varied inc. to start or continue the learning conversation – ASPiH can pre-load questions on twitter so you don’t have to do that – we would just need to help compose a few questions and a hashtag – max 6 for the twitter chat hour
Its also possible to sponsor one of our webinars ,please do get in touch HERE.
