The OSCE Revision Guide for Medical Students

Product Information

Our easy-to-follow approach breaks down complex concepts into manageable sections, making studying more enjoyable. Grab a fellow medic/friend/flatmate and practice regularly until your examinations are fluent and confident. Our 2000+ question bank is a compilation of 8+ question books published by our partner Taylor Francis, the experts in medical education, and complemented with updates and questions from our OSCEstop experts. The Geeky Medics OSCE Revision Book has been crafted to be the ideal OSCE revision guide, summarising over 50 clinical examinations.

Concise, to the point and the key to passing any OSCE stations whether you are looking for a pass or a distinction. Test specifications show how the test is designed, what it will assess and how, and how results will be produced and presented. These changes will ensure a wider coverage of the standards, code of practice and blueprint and forms part of our routine maintenance to keep the test valid and reliable. Candidates should continue to read the full exam instructions, and apply their skills and knowledge to the station or scenario that they are presented with. This book represents a distillation of our work on clinical skills over the last 12 years, with each guide having been continually enhanced through specialist review and feedback from members of our amazing community.By the time you sit the OSCE, you should be competent at practising at the level of a newly qualified nurse or midwife in the UK and your approach to the stations should reflect the actions you would take in a contemporary UK clinical setting. They should be used by candidates to confirm understanding of the different skills that they need to demonstrate across the OSCE but the standards, code, and blueprint should form the basis of all teaching and learning.

As part of your learning and preparation, you should refer to the reading lists, understand and apply the NMC Code to all aspects of your practice, and access our useful documents as mock OSCE materials and station timings. Talking to your coursemates about their experience can help too – no one said that you can only learn from your own mistakes.

The OSCE Revision Guide for Medical Students, produced in association with OSCEstop, is an excellent resource for medical students and junior doctors alike. As part of the ongoing development of the Test of Competence OSCE for midwifery, we have made some changes to the existing assessments and released a small number of new stations which will come into use from Monday 26 June. The CBT and OSCE information booklets for all nursing fields apply to adult nursing, children’s nursing, learning disabilities nursing and mental health nursing pathways.
