Part A	This consists of 18 Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) stations that assess knowledge, psycho-motor ability, interpersonal skills (including communication and conflict resolution), professional behaviour and clinical decision-making skills. The duration is 2.5 hours, meaning that each station lasts around 7 minutes. A lot of the stations use actors to play the part, though there are some real patients with clinical signs (for example a murmur) to examine. Mannequins are also used for some of the scenarios. The marking is against a pre-determined set of competencies. Additional marks can also be awarded by the patient/actor or examiner regarding their overall impression of the candidate’s performance according to a strict set of criteria: See 'global marking matrix' information from College website link here (pdf format)
