Has any one seen the "OSCE's for MRCOG Made Easy" DVD by Alexander Taylor?
Is it helpful at all?

And what about "OSCE The Inside track" by Tim Draycott?

Question

I've not got any experience of these other than brief comments passed in the courses.

I would also be interested therefore to hear your opinions.

It's definitely time for a Teale Fenning DVD I think Smile

Now that the elation is OVER with passing the written, panic has set in!! What do you suggest I do coming up to the exam? All momentum prior to exam has now halted with brain meltdown after the exam. Any suggestions??

I hear Anthomy Hollingworth's book is good

Wish your course was NOW...
Please help

Oops,
I got the Tim Draycott book and I think it is quite good. Only few scenarios though but since I have not had any experience with the exam, cant comment further.

That's a great question and one I should have answered before.

Let me have a think this morning and I'll make a few new posts giving various scenarios and ask you all to comment on how you would address each question.

You should also post various qustions and we can then discuss those as well.

I'll be back later Wink

Hi,
I wanted to share this great website that I found that helps doctors with breaking bad news. I thought that it would be of help toward the OSCE preparation.

Hi Mei Lin

That's a great link / site - thanks

Their suggestions are almost identical to what we teach on the Theory Course so you will be prepared!

I will also post this link in the 'useful websites' forum.
