Your OSCE test
Preparing for your OSCE at CTC
The OSCE is designed to assess your ability to competently apply your professional nursing, midwifery or nursing associate skills and knowledge in the UK. It is set at the level expected of nurses and midwives as they enter the profession (at the point of registration). This means you must show that you are capable of applying knowledge to care at the level expected of a newly registered nurse or midwife.
The OSCE will simulate a clinical environment and scenarios which registered nurses and midwives are likely to encounter. Candidates are expected to utilise a contemporary evidence base and effectively demonstrate safe practical application of nursing and midwifery skills. The OSCE tests your ability to apply knowledge to care rather than how well you can remember and recite facts.
You can find specific information on your field of practice below.
