For internationally educated midwives seeking NMC registration in the UK, the Midwifery OSCE is one of the most demanding and most critical assessments you will face. Medax Group’s Midwifery OSCE Training programme is built specifically for midwives: not adapted from a general nursing programme, but designed from the ground up around the NMC Midwifery OSCE blueprint. With delivery options including Comprehensive, Onsite, and Virtual formats, you can prepare in the way that suits your schedule and learning needs, supported by expert midwifery tutors with direct OSCE experience.

Course Overview

The Medax Group Midwifery OSCE Training covers every station category tested in the NMC Midwifery OSCE, including clinical skills, evidence-based practice, professional values, and communication. Our structured programme ensures you understand not only what to do in each station, but why so your responses demonstrate the depth of knowledge and professional judgement the NMC panel is looking for. Whether you choose our intensive Comprehensive package or targeted Onsite sessions, you receive detailed feedback, repeat practice, and examiner-standard marking on every station attempted.

FAQs

What is the NMC Midwifery OSCE?

The NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) Midwifery OSCE is a mandatory clinical assessment that internationally educated midwives must pass as part of the UK registration pathway. It tests clinical skills, evidence-based practice, professional values, and communication across a series of timed stations

How is the Midwifery OSCE different from the Adult Nursing OSCE?

The Midwifery OSCE is specifically designed around the competencies and standards set out in the NMC Standards for Midwives. It includes midwifery-specific clinical skills such as antenatal examination, fetal monitoring, intrapartum care, and postnatal assessment that do not appear in the adult nursing version.

How many attempts am I allowed at the NMC Midwifery OSCE?

The NMC’s current policy allows candidates a limited number of attempts at the OSCE. It is strongly recommended to be as well-prepared as possible before your first attempt. Medax Group’s training significantly improves the probability of a first-attempt pass.

Can I prepare for the Midwifery OSCE online?

Yes. Medax Group offers a Virtual Midwifery OSCE Training option that covers theory, examiner briefings, and feedback via online sessions. For full simulation practice, we strongly recommend attending in-person at Harrow to complete hands-on station work.

How long does the NMC Midwifery OSCE process take?

After receiving your NMC invitation, it typically takes several weeks to arrange an OSCE date. Medax Group recommends beginning preparation immediately upon receiving your NMC letter to allow sufficient training time.

What happens if I fail the Midwifery OSCE?

If you do not pass, the NMC will advise you on re-sitting. Medax Group offers targeted remedial training specifically addressing the station categories or competencies where you did not achieve the required standard.
