Designed to provide hands-on experience and expert guidance, to help candidates approach their VetSkill assessments with confidence.

Preparing for OSCEs can feel daunting, but confidence comes with practice. This intensive one-day OSCE Preparation Day for Student Veterinary Nurses is designed to provide hands-on experience, expert guidance, and valuable feedback to help candidates approach their VetSkill assessments with confidence.

The day begins with six tutor-led practical skills stations delivered using a structured 5-Step OSCE Teaching Model, allowing delegates to observe, practise, and refine essential veterinary nursing skills while gaining insight into assessment criteria and common pitfalls.

In the afternoon, participants will take part in a 12-station peer mock OSCE circuit, replicating the assessment environment and providing an opportunity to develop timing, technique, and exam strategy.

The day concludes with a dedicated Q&A session, giving students the chance to discuss concerns, receive expert advice, and leave with a clear plan for their final OSCE preparation.

In addition, delegates will have access to course resources for two weeks post session including step by step guides, tasks and videos.

Ideal for student veterinary nurses approaching their practical assessments, this supportive and interactive workshop aims to build confidence, competence, and exam readiness.

The course is also open to any active Clinical Supervisors who wish to attend, in order to gain up to date knowledge to support their students through VetSkill OSCE examinations.

If you are a CAW Student or a Clinical Supervisor working for a CAW Training Practice / actively supporting a CAW Student, you are eligible to receive a 50% discount on this course. Please contact admin@caw.ac.uk for the code.
