The Nursing Council of Aotearoa New Zealand (the Council) warmly invites suitably qualified suppliers to submit a Registration of Interest for the contract opportunity to deliver Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).
Candidates and the public must have confidence that these clinical assessments ensure an IQN is safe to practice in Aotearoa New Zealand. The Council is keen to work with the successful provider to realise this outcome.
Implementation is planned to begin in 2024.
The invitation is to provide some/ or all of, the following services:
a) clinical suite / exam centre
b) administration of exam registrations and payments
c) setup for NCNZ scenarios, including equipment and disposable items
d) reception and briefing of candidates
e) recruitment, orientation, scheduling and coordination of actors and invigilators
f) invigilation of exam systems and processes
g) IT application for capturing examiner assessments during each scenario
h) IT support including audio, video and storage
i) Provision of a 1–2-day course to introduce candidates to working as a registered nurse in Aotearoa New Zealand and prepare them to sit the OSCE exam (content yet to be defined by NCNZ)
j) relevant metrics and reporting.
The OSCE must be accessible for candidates in that
• candidates can apply and book on-line
• candidates can access instructions, guidance and support materials on-line
• candidates complete an Orientation (to NZ) and Preparation (for OSCE) course that supports their readiness to fairly demonstrate their skills
• exam fees are known
• the exam runs over a significant period (likely to be approximately 3 hours)
• candidates are able to re-sit the exam (as per NCNZ policy).
The Council envisages that there may be several clinical assessment centres, located in cities with good international travel infrastructure.
The total annual throughput of candidates is estimated as falling within the 1000 - 2500 per annum range.
Please contact Sue with any questions you may have.
