Why is it that you can have two students each equally competent in practice, and one passes their OSCEs and the other fails and perhaps goes on to fail again?

Beyond the practical OSCE preparation that we help our students with is what is sometimes referred to as the mental game, which as we’ll explore in this talk, underpins everything.

In this presentation, we’ll look at some of the science behind how elements such as sleep, mindset, awareness, language and visualisation impact practical performance and how this knowledge can be used to help your students to OSCE success and beyond.
