The Virtual Patient
A training resource for psychiatrists to facilitate identification of adult ADHD. Flynn Pharma, in conjunction with Virtual Health Shed, has developed 3D characters in a virtual environment to simulate interaction between the learner and a virtual patient or clinical virtual actor (avatar).

Interaction with the computer generated characters is possible via multiple choice questions and, at the end of the consultation, the learner is provided with comprehensive feedback. The aim of this resource is to familiarise the learner with the ‘language of ADHD’ so as to be able to confidently identify adult ADHD patients presenting in secondary care.
