This clinical skills package of two skills days, culminating in an OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) style assessment, provides updates on medical conditions and refreshes practical skills. The aim is to support clinical staff with their training and development needs, help them to raise the standards of care provided in schools and meet the needs of CPD as part of their revalidation. This will also be accomplished by networking with other nurses to share and recognise good practice.
