Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessments in the Scheme for Registration can be a daunting prospect as these assessments are unlike the type of assessments you might have experienced at university or undergraduate level. The same can be said of Clinical Learning in Practice (CLiP) placements. With the help of Optuitions however, we can give you the confidence and ability to better tackle these assessments, and most importantly to develop your understanding for everyday practice too! We offer a variety of online video courses which cover practical as well as theoretical aspects of these assessments. Our videos also include example / mock patient records and key tips to improve your record-keeping skills. Although these videos are primarily focussed on Stage 2 assessments of the original Scheme for Registration, they are also directly relevant to Stage 1 competencies and CLiP placements too. Prices start from just £10.00 per video (2 day access) OR package deals are also available starting from only £14.00 for 1 week of access! Details are provided below and here is a short video to give you a flavour:

PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR STAGE 2 OVERARCHING COMPETENCIES, THE VIDEOS ARE BASED ON THE PATIENT EPISODES (AS USED PRE-COVID) AND NOT ON THE ACTUAL CASE SCENARIOS THAT THE COLLEGE ASSESSES YOU ON. WE HAVE CREATED THEORETICAL VIDEOS WITH OUR OWN PATIENT RECORDS.
