Welcome to our page dedicated to the UK Foundation Programme (UKFPO). In order to gain a place as a Foundation Year 1 (F1) doctor in the UK you will have to sit the National Clinical Assessment (NSA) OSCE if you graduated 2 years before the start date of your FY1 programme.

We have tailor made courses to help students overcome the Clinical Skills Assessment exam.

NATIONAL CLINICAL ASSESSMENT (NCA)

OSCEs are made up of a circuit of ‘stations’, each station being a self- contained area (a room) in which a candidate is asked to perform a given clinical task. The tasks are largely independent on one another and the knowledge and skills utilised in one are neither required nor utilised in subsequent stations.

 

Our NCA course: 5 days

 

Day 1: Focused history taking, history taking in difficult circumstances – challenging communication – Ethical and legal issues

Day 2: surgical and peri-operative care – discharge planning – health promotion and patient education

Day 3 and 4: recognition and management of acute illness – examination of patients with chronic disease – practical procedures

Day 5 – this day will include data interpretation (ECGs, CXR, ABGs) and management of medical emergencies and Team work. Prescribing skills.
