Stepping foot on to a labour ward as a trainee can be daunting. This seminar is aimed primarily at ST1-3 trainees and intended to provide those approaching, or in the early stages of, their first obstetric block, with the knowledge and confidence to deal with regional analgesia and anaesthesia on the labour ward.
Experience realistic exam conditions at the King OSCE mock, with 16 stations including high fidelity sim.

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?
