Consultation skills, kept sharp between exams.
Not every reason to practise is an exam. Some people are rebuilding fluency in a second language, some are coming back after time away, and some simply want to be better at the part of medicine that happens in conversation.
Practice feedback only. OSCEY is not a qualification and grants no credit.
Consulting is a skill like any other. It goes rusty when it is not used, and it comes back faster by doing than by reading.
Building fluency in English
If you trained in another language, the medicine is rarely the hard part. Finding the words out loud, while someone in front of you is upset, is. The patient here will wait, and will not mind how long you take.
Returning to practice
After research, parental leave, illness or a move abroad, the first few consultations back are the hardest ones. These are the same conversations with nothing riding on them.
Getting better on purpose
Breaking bad news, disclosing an error, handling a refusal, working through an interpreter. Most of us meet these for the first time when they actually happen.
Practice on your own terms
Nothing here is scored against a syllabus, so nothing here has to look like an exam.
- Run one station or thirty; there is no circuit you are expected to finish
- Set the station clock between 8 and 12 minutes, or take the reading time down to 30 seconds
- Pick the difficulty deliberately: hidden agendas, angry patients, treatment refusal, breaking bad news
- Every station still ends in a full debrief with the transcript of what you actually said




The transcript is the useful part.
Every station ends the same way: checklist coverage, the criteria you met and missed, movement in each of OSCEY's four domains, and the full transcript of what you said. Reading your own words back is where the habits show up.
OSCEY scores are practice estimates. They are not mapped onto any school's or examining body's marking scheme, and they are never a prediction of a result.
Is this a qualification or a course?
No. OSCEY is a practice tool. It awards no certificate, carries no accreditation and grants no CPD or CME credit.
How is it different from the exam tracks?
There is no exam format and no pass mark. You set the length and the clock, and the debrief is not mapped onto any exam's marking scheme.
What can I actually practise?
Histories, explanations, shared decisions, consent conversations, safeguarding disclosures, breaking bad news and error disclosure — across 27 specialties. The station library lists what is there.
Will it help my spoken English?
It gives you unlimited consultations with a patient who answers, plus a transcript of every word you said afterwards. That transcript is where most people find the habits they did not know they had.
Do I get feedback?
Yes, the same debrief as every other track: coverage, met and missed criteria, domain-by-domain movement, and issues worth fixing.
Can I switch to an exam track later?
Yes. Your history and progress follow you, and every station in the library is available on either side.
The next conversation is the practice.
Open one of the four free stations, say hello, and see what the transcript tells you afterwards.
OSCEY simulates patients. Your microphone audio is processed by Google Gemini to run the consultation and is not retained after the station. OSCEY provides practice feedback and practice score estimates only — not an official result, not a prediction, and not clinical advice. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any medical school or examining body.
