In this week’s blog post I’ve compiled some scoring systems that may be useful in your Primary OSCE’s. These can be utilised in stations such as clinical data, history, communication, resuscitation and simulation. 

By no means is this list exhaustive, but you may find a few that you didn’t really think would be likely to come up or be relevant…

I’ve broken these down into where and how they could come up 

BASICS

GOOD TO KNOW

IMPRESS YOUR EXAMINERS

GOOD LUCK!
