About this Event

What is the Outreach Skills Clinic for Assessment (OSCA)?

OUTREACH- Outreach Skills Clinics for Assessment (OSCA) provides clinics at a range of sites/venues across Cheshire and Merseyside. These include both practice and university sites to offer flexibility to learners so they can book when and where they choose to access OSCA.

SKILLS- OSCA provides opportunities for learners to engage in theoretical and simulated practice learning opportunities to support learning and assessment across a range of skills and procedures. These include: cannulation, venepuncture, nasogastric tube insertion, chest auscultation and catheterisation.

CLINIC- OSCA enables learners to access a range of sessions that they can attend by using an online booking system. Leaners have the opportunity to book theoretical and practice learning opportunities which can fit around their university and life commitments.

ASSESSMENT- During the sessions, learners will have the opportunity to book and complete an assessment (both formative and summative) regarding a specific skill. On successful completion of the assessment, learners can be signed off (where appropriate to the discipline) the relevant proficiency/skill within their practice assessment documents.
