STARFISH for trainees

Boost your knowledge of typical GP presentations with the Starfish Viva-Style learning sessions. Run a simulated consultation, then get honest, competency-mapped feedback so you can focus in on improving your consultation skills — in private, as often as you like.

STARFISH for educators

Set a learning objective for your students, get them to practice the consultation with the AI patients, then use the transcriptions and targeted competency based feedback to support effective tutorial learning.

STARFISH for experienced clinicians

Keep sharp on the consultations that have quietly got harder. Rehearse the difficult conversations before they happen, check your habits against the framework, and generate genuine reflective CPD for appraisal — with no observers in the room.

Starfish lets you…

Learn

Deepen your knowledge of typical GP presentations by engaging with the AI tutor, who will check your responses against the latest guidance and offer feedback and learning tailored to your own development needs.

Consult

Try out new approaches and phrases in realistic GP consultations powered by the unique Starfish AI Behaviour Engine.

Watch

See real experienced clinicians consulting, and see for yourself how others consult effectively. Take phrases and approaches that you see and try them out in the AI-patient consultations to build confidence and fluidity before trying them out in your own clinics.

Private by default

Your practice sessions are yours. Nothing is shared with a trainer or employer unless you choose to share it.

Built on the real framework

Feedback is mapped to established consultation competencies.

Ten minutes is enough

One scenario, one focused competency, one piece of feedback. Designed to fit into a real working week.
