ABSTRACT

Brookes, D. (2007) Objective Structured Clinical Examination assessment. Nursing Times; 103: 43, 30-31.

This article considers the use of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) nurse-prescribing courses and sets out an evaluation of the system in place at the time of the author's involvement in OSCE assessment. OSCEs are re-marked using videos and the differences that occur are discussed. As a result of this appraisal recommendations were made, some of which were taken up by the course team.
