The next Barts Heart One Lung simulation course is being held on 14 December 2017 - learn about the art of lung isolation, management of double lumen tubes and troubleshooting intra-operative problems in a high-fidelity simulation suite with experienced thoracic and trauma anaesthetists. Registration is £100 for the day and places are limited.
Nothing prepares you for a disaster following a procedure or surgery. The shock you
experience and helplessness you feel is unforgettable. You can get mentally blocked and the
stress of continuing to work afterwards can be unsurmountable. Your despair about your
career, future, other patients, and family. Your training, education, and experience does not
quite prepare you for such a situation. The looming consequence of GMC investigations and

What is it?
This course has been designed by Registrars and Consultants to complement the hugely successful Viva Course.
The OSCE is an area of the exam that candidates can find difficult to prepare for. It requires extra revision time and this course is designed for those who have prepared for the exam and would like specific teaching sessions, exposure to simulation and experience of a full OSCE examination.
What does the course entail?
- Introductory lecture from a current College examiner with insight on the examination; how to prepare, expectations, format and mark scheme.
- A strategy to approach each of the various station types in the exam.
- Dedicated morning simulation session on critical incidents/resuscitation scenarios; one scenario for each candidate with exposure to a further 8.
- Rapid revision session on key physics and equipment topics commonly encountered in the OSCE.
- Communication skills workshop and tips for the OSCE communication skills stations.
- Complete 18 station mock OSCE under examination conditions. The stations include:
- Examined by registrars with recent experience of the OSCE and can therefore accurately direct you to ‘hot topics’ and common pitfalls
- Individual feedback
- Individual marks to gauge your further revision
- Attendance Certificate
When?
The week prior to the Primary OSCE exam week.
Who can do it?
This course is aimed at candidates about to sit the forthcoming OSCE exam. Please note that places are limited; therefore we request that you only attend this course if you are fully prepared.
Taught by?
Large team of registrars who have recently been completed the exam. They can accurately direct you to ‘hot topics’ and common pitfalls to help tailor your final revision efforts.
