The scenarios will contain information about the ‘’patient’’you will see at that particular station.  \nThe information you will be given will include the patient’s name, age, gender, occupation and any relevant history. You will also be given a lead question. This will tell you the focus of the station.  \nPrior to entering each OSCE station you will have up to two minutes to look at this information before you speak to the “patient”.  \nWhile you are having a dialogue with the “patient”, an examiner will be marking you against a pre-agreed set of criteria on a mark sheet.  \nExamples of candidate information and mark sheets are given below. The mark sheets are used as a basic outline and guide to the examiners. They indicate the absolute minimum required and the actual assessment of passing or failing is more complex than indicated on these mark sheets.  \nEXAMPLE 1  \nInformation for Candidate Theme: History Taking  \nPatient Details:  \n\n| Name | Mr   |\n| --- | --- |\n| Age | 65 (DoB   ) |\n| Gender | Male |\n| Occupation | Retired librarian |\n\n\n| Information about scenario |\n| --- |\n| This is a new patient to your general dental practice today.
