I found the wide-range of OSCE stations for example, medicines reconciliation, really useful - especially given the limited pharmacy-focused resources currently out there. As OSCEs are
in-person exams, I found it hard to otherwise revise OSCE technique. However, the built in timer meant as well as being able to practice with friends, I could work through stations
independently. The answer check-lists are ultimately probably the most useful aspect of OSCE toolbox as it allows you to build an awareness of what examiners are looking for in each
station - which is invaluable!

Pre-Teaching Preparation
Assign specific scenarios as pre-reading before lectures or practical sessions. Students practice independently, and educators track engagement.
In-Class Application
Use OSCE circuits during teaching weeks to reinforce communication skills, clinical reasoning and patient-centred practice.
Mock OSCE Preparation
Create structured OSCE circuits using our scenario library to help students develop exam familiarity.
Targeted Remediation
Use analytics to identify areas where students need further support and assign focused scenario bundles.
How we Produce Resources
Our scenarios and mark schemes are created by pharmacists, OSCE examiners and UK health educators.

First, I used it just by myself; I would read the patients description, then move onto to ask all relevant questions and mark what I did well and what I could improve on. Then I used the toolbox with my peers, where one of us pretended to be the patient and one the pharmacist, which was quite useful.

I would recommend it as the subscription price is very reasonable with few subscription options, you can cancel it any time, and you have a lot of scenarios to practice on. It is great for solo practice as well as the group practice.

I loved the analytical checklist. This had allowed me to see where the marks were available and the main bits that i was missing throughout the OSCE.
