This is a face-to-face training delivered for three days starting at 10 am and finishing at 4 pm. Due to the availability of test dates at the Universities, nurses can come back to us for a refresher by booking in to join the intake closest to the date of exam free of charge. Online tutorial is also made available for nurses who plan to study from home in between shifts.

You will be trained by a fully qualified nurse who has been a nurse mentor for more than ten years and has been training the OSCE since 2015 when it started, also regularly up to date with any changes announced by the regulatory body and universities.

The OSCE is split between two types of stations: the manned and unmanned. The manned stations are the ones that involve patient interaction whether with a manikin or an actor. The unmanned stations are the silent written stations. You will be given homework such as care plans, 24-hour fluid balance, pressure sore risk assessments, etc.

The OSCE is now delivered at ten stations, and they are the four skills (two pairs), the professional values, evidence based practice and the nursing process, which has four stations comprising of the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation all linked together in one case scenario.

The training involves a lot of simulation of the clinical setting, which will allow nurses to exercise their critical thinking, decision making and problem-solving skills. For bigger groups, the nurses will either be working in pairs or threes to allow demonstration, return demonstration and constructive feedback. This is also about understanding the rationale behind the procedure and converting one's transferrable skills from overseas to the UK clinical setting with use of evidence-based practice.
