What to expect at the OSCEs

5 mins read Professionalism/career development
More than 1,000 candidates participate in 10 different stations to complete the timed practical exam – the OSCE – which will result in a pass or fail mark. Here, the team at NEBDN talk us through the preparation

As part of the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) qualification, candidates must have completed their written exam first before sitting their practical. Once qualified, successful candidates will receive their NEBDN National Diploma in Dental Nursing and can then go on to register with the General Dental Council (GDC).

NEBDN does a wonderful job of organising the OSCEs, which is a massive project to manage across multiple locations in the UK – there were more than 550 candidates sitting their exam in London alone! So much work goes on behind the scenes with everyone making a great effort to work as a well-oiled team. It really is an inspiring project.
