To reflect contemporary
societies’ expectations of health professionals, the UK Nursing and Midwifery
Council has reviewed the standards of the tests of competency, the
computer-based test (CBT) and the
objective structured clinical
examination (OSCE), to constitute
the skills, knowledge and attributes they must exhibit.
CBT The test, taken in Accra, Ghana at Total House, is now divided into two parts, parts A and B. While Part A assesses numeracy (ability to reason and apply simple numerical concepts), Part B is theory-based, testing the knowledge of candidates on the principles of their practice.
OSCE Furthermore, the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), which is taken in the UK usually during the third month of arrival, will now have 10 stations, instead of 8:
Linked
together around a scenario, four stations - the APIE (one station for
assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation) - remain unchanged.
The
skills-testing four stations are also unaffected.
To
highlight the need to assess values and behaviours as well as evidence-based
practice, two new stations will be introduced to ensure that employees meet the
highest ethical and professional standards.
OSCE Marking Criteria Each station will be assessed against specific criteria and with a holistic judgement.
Test Content After a comprehensive evaluation, the content of the test has been updated. This implies that while portions of the content of the existing test have been maintained, new ones have also been included.
Candidate Support Accordingly, the range and quality of preparation materials will be improved to enable candidates to pass the revised test.
