“…SPs past health, life and work experiences often shape their perspectives, and although these experiences can be both positive and negative, it is important that SPs' perspectives towards their role align with the objectives of a safe learning environment. The knowledge SPs gained about health care from their role had a positive impact on the SP's own health 15 and as identified in this study, also helped them to develop more understanding for health care workers.…”

Introduction Simulated patients (SPs) are involved widely in the support of health care education for communication and consultation skills teaching. This study aimed to explore SPs' perspectives of their role and contribution to health professions education. Methods A qualitative approach was used. Twenty‐two SPs (actor and non‐actor) involved in teaching at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI) participated in one of four focus groups, which were audiorecorded. Two focus groups involved professional actors (n = 7), and two focus groups involved non‐actor SPs (n = 15). Transcribed data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results The first theme ‘Reward of Contribution’ highlights how the SP role is situated in a position of mutual benefit for both SP and student. The second theme ‘Multiple Personas’ demonstrates the complexity of SP role portrayal. The third theme ‘Culture and Communication’ is a new finding and demonstrates the role SPs feel they have in helping to change the culture of health care practice. The fourth theme ‘A touchy subject’ addresses the preferences of SPs concerning involvement in both intimate and nonintimate physical examination. Conclusions SPs believe they have an important role to play in health care education and they also learn from their involvement. SPs' perspectives need to be considered to ensure they feel supported in their role and that their unique insights remain beneficial for student learning.

“…For example, participants suggested that the involvement of older people in SPS added authenticity and value to sessions, which they felt supported the development of students' caring skills. [17,18] The study found that engaging in SPS can lead to increased knowledge of health topics, [20,21] but that it can be fatiguing. [27,28] However, the findings of this study also indicated that involving older people in this type of education initiative may be beneficial for their own personal wellbeing.…”

“…[17][18][19] Other studies have proposed that engaging in SPS sessions leads to increased knowledge and understanding of medical conditions, healthcare systems and health behaviours. [20][21][22] In addition, a few studies have found that engaging in SPS activities can enhance empathy for people with chronic diseases and mental health conditions. 23 24 Although overall SPS can be beneficial for those undertaking the activity, there are some risks.…”

“…Moreover, SPs see themselves as more active when communicating with a health-care professional, which speeds up their recovery [ 10 ], [ 11 ]. Because of the gain in knowledge in medical topics, SPs are also more apprehensive about their own symptoms and disorders [ 12 ].…”
