An OSCE exam is a typical type of examination that is often used in health sciences to test clinical skill(s) performance and competence (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) such as communication, clinical examination, medical procedures/prescription, and clinical decision making.
From 14 November 2022, NMC introduce a selection of new scenarios and skills for the nursing OSCE. All test centers are in the process of publishing a suite of support and preparation materials for candidates and those delivering preparation and support programs.
The new OSCE has 10 stations:
Four stations will continue to be linked together around a scenario: the APIE (one station for assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation)
Four stations to test skills (two pairs of two skills)
Two new stations to assess the candidate's values and behaviors and evidence-based practice.
