The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) introduced a test of competency for internationally registered nurses in October 2014. This test measures candidates against the current UK pre-registration standards for nursing and midwifery, and is comprised of 2 sections.
You need to have passed an English language test accepted by the NMC before you can apply to sit your OSCE’s.
Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust in partnership with Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust offers an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) programme to internationally registered nurses that have been identified as requiring part 2 of the NMC competency exam https://www.nmc.org.uk/registration/joining-the-register/toc/toc-2014/
The programme is run over 6 weeks and includes trust and clinical induction, ward placements and a 4 day OSCE programme which includes a mock exam (delivered by Yeovil Hospital). Please note the exam will be booked with an accredited centre.
