What is an OSCE?

Remote OSCEs provide medical schools and healthcare education providers with a practical alternative to in-person clinical assessments. Speedwell’s remote OSCE software is designed to help organisations manage online clinical exams more easily while maintaining structure, visibility and assessment oversight throughout the process.

The platform includes integrated video functionality, allowing candidates, examiners and simulated patients to take part in assessments without relying on third-party video software. Participants can access the exam securely from their own locations, while examiners can complete marking directly within their assigned stations.

Automatic station rotation helps manage candidate movement throughout the assessment, while image sharing tools support scenarios where candidates may need to review or discuss visual materials such as X-rays or clinical imagery.
