of Competence: Mock OSCE  \nAdult Nursing  \nUpdated~~ July 2025    ~~  \nMock OSCE  \nAdult nursing  \nIn your objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), you will be assessed on 10 stations in total:  \n• Four of the stations are linked together around a scenario: this is called the APIE, with one station for each of Assessment, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation, delivered in that sequence and with no stations in between.  \n• Four stations will take the form of two sets of two linked stations, testing practical clinical skills. Each pairing of skills stations will last up to 20 minutes in total (including reading time), with no break between each paired skill.  \n• There are also two silent stations. In each OSCE, one station will specifically  \nassess professional issues associated with professional accountability and related skills around communication (called the professional values and behaviours, or PV, station) . One station will also specifically assess critical appraisal of research and evidence and associated decision-making (called the evidence-based practice station, or EBP) . These stations will each be 10 minutes long.  \nWe have developed this mock OSCE to provide an outline of the performance we expect and the criteria that the test of competence will assess. This mock OSCE contains an APIE, one pair of linked clinical skills, one PV and one EBP station.  \nThe Nursing and Midwifery Council’s code (2018) outlines professional standards of practice and behaviours, setting out the expected performance and standards that are assessed through the test of competence.  \nThe code is structured around four themes: prioritise people, practise effectively, preserve safety and promote professionalism and trust. These statements are explained below as the expected performance and criteria. The criteria must be used to promote the standards of proficiency in respect of knowledge, skills and attitudes. They have been designed to be applied across all fields of nursing practice, irrespective of the clinical setting, and they should be applied to the care needs of all patients.  \nPlease note: this is a mock OSCE example for education and training purposes only.  \nThe marking criteria and expected performance apply only to this mock OSCE. They provide a guide to the level of performance we expect in relation to nursing care, knowledge and attitude. Other scenarios will have different assessment criteria appropriate to the scenario.  \nEvidence for the expected performance criteria can be found in the reading list and related publications on the learning platform.  \n\n| Theme from the code | Expected performance | Criteria |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Prior it ise people | Treat people as individuals and uphold their dignity | Introduces self to the patient at every contact and upholds the patient’s dignity and privacy. |\n|  | Listen to people and respond to their preferences and concerns | Actively listens to patients and provides clear information, behaving in a professional manner, respecting others and adopting non-discriminatory behaviour. |\n|  | Make sure that people’s physical, social and psychological needs are responded to | Upholds respect by valuing the patient’s opinions and being sensitive to feelings and/or appreciating any differences in culture. |\n|  | Act in the best interest of people at all times | Treats each patient as an individual, showing compassion and care during all interactions.\u003Cbr>Respects and upholds people’s human rights. |\n|  | Respect people’s right to privacy and confidentiality | Ensures that people are informed about their care and that information about them is shared appropriately, maintaining confidentiality. |\n| Practise effectively | Always practise in line with the best available evidence | Provides skills, knowledge and attitude that is supported by an evidence base at all times. |\n|  | Communicate clearly | Communicates clearly and effectively to people in their care, colleagues and ","cbCaiiQkjotEFhuZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiQkjotEFhuZ","pdf",922939,43,"English","# OSCE structure and station types\n## Linked APIE scenario stations\n## Linked practical clinical skills stations\n## Silent PV and EBP stations\n# Assessment purpose and marking approach\n## Mock OSCE performance outline\n## Scope and limits of marking criteria\n# NMC code-based themes and criteria\n## Prioritise people\n## Practise effectively\n## Preserve safety","[{\"question\":\"How many stations are included in the Adult Nursing mock OSCE, and what are their types?\",\"answer\":\"The mock OSCE assesses 10 stations in total: four linked APIE stations, four linked practical skills stations in two pairs, and two silent stations for PV and EBP.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the APIE stations assess, and in what order are they delivered?\",\"answer\":\"The APIE comprises four linked stages assessing Assessment, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation, delivered in that exact sequence with no stations between.\"},{\"question\":\"Which four themes from the NMC code (2018) define the expected performance criteria?\",\"answer\":\"The themes are prioritise people, practise effectively, preserve safety, and promote professionalism and trust, used across all fields of nursing practice.\"}]","Adult Nursing - Mock OSCE - Test of Competence | PDF",1789926061,108]
