The OSCE Revision Guide for Medical Students

Product Information

Grab a fellow medic/friend/flatmate and practice regularly until your examinations are fluent and confident. It is divided into nine chapters, each covering an essential aspect of the OSCE: history taking, clinical examination, vivas and spotters, management of acutely unwell patients, clinical procedures, interpretation, prescribing, communication, clerking and reviewing patients. The Geeky Medics OSCE Revision Book has been crafted to be the ideal OSCE revision guide, summarising over 50 clinical examinations. We seek to educate and improve your ability to perform hard-to-grasp clinical skills from taking a patient's blood pressure to feeling for crepitus in the knee. The right hilum is increased in size, with a round opacity, and higher than the left (white arrows), suggesting loss of volume.

Our easy-to-follow approach breaks down complex concepts into manageable sections, making studying more enjoyable. As part of your learning and preparation, you should refer to the reading lists, understand and apply the NMC Code to all aspects of your practice, and access our useful documents as mock OSCE materials and station timings.
