Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The individuals involved in this study are standardised patients (who aim to pass as a normal patient) and will be recruited based on the characteristics of the case they are presenting. All the standardised patients portraying a particular scenario are meticulously trained and rehearsed to ensure that the clinical presentation as well as the emotional, physical and psychosocial aspects of the patient they represent — speech, body language, dress, reactions to physical examinations — are standardised thus ensuring that each provider, when meeting an SP, will face the same clinical challenge.
