This video is intended to illustrate what a candidate may expect to see in a typical OSCE Equipment Station. It also gives examples of good practice and contrasts this with examples of poor practice. Please be advised that it is not intended as a ‘model answer’ and shows parts of a generic scenario, not an entire FRCA question.

There are further examples of different types of OSCE stations, all of which can be found on the Royal College of Anaesthetists YouTube Channel, along with many other informative videos showing aspects of all of the FRCA examinations.

Please note:
The FRCA Examination videos are intended to give examples of the usual processes used and may not be truly reflective of every candidate’s experience at the exams. There are also occasional changes made to exam processes that may not be reflected in the videos made prior to these changes. Instances where candidates are seen answering questions should be taken as examples of good practice and are not intended as model answers.
