Beginning a nursing career in the UK is a lifelong dream for many aspiring nursing candidates. However, despite having passion and dedication, it is mandatory to successfully attend and complete the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). This competency test is considered one of the most demanding exams, and enrolling for the best training to perform your best is essential.
OSCE assessment is a pretty standardised procedure that involves assessing a candidate’s knowledge, patient assessment skills and capability to work by adhering to the UK healthcare standards. The examination demonstrates evidence of competence in the main tasks of the nursing sector. This includes factors such as decision-making, communication and managing patients. When compared with a conventional clinical exam, OSCE also assesses abilities such as communication and the candidate’s capacity to effectively handle unpredictable patient behaviours which is imperative for leading a successful healthcare career.
The exam is made up of 10 sections, with each of them lasting between 8-15 minutes. The candidate is required to act out scenarios using simulated patients in a clinical setting that nurses and midwives are likely to experience. Since the test evaluates the various skills of the candidate, it is required to complete the test within the specified time. The examiners evaluate the candidate’s overall level of performance based on the individual station’s criteria. Now coming to the stations, four of them are generally linked together around the APIE scenario:
The next four stations primarily assess the candidate’s skills (two pairs of two skills) and the remaining two stations test the candidate's values, professional behaviour and evidence-based practice (EBP).
The OSCE is not only a test of the candidate’s temperament but also their cognitive skills and medical knowledge. Therefore, you must seek the training of expert professionals to help you pass the examination. Enrolling at Tincy’s Academy provides you with the best quality OSCE training that is unrivalled.
