About the Course

This workshop has been designed and directed by Dr Ashfaque Sorathia (Dr Ash), who has worked as an NHS Consultant in Emergency Medicine in the UK and has been teaching MRCEM candidates for over a decade. He has trained more than 5,000 IMGs in the UK, with over 800 now working as Emergency Medicine Specialists or Consultants.

The course is based on Dr Ash's famous “4 Ps Procedure Approach”:

P1 – Preparation Before the Procedure  

P2 – Preparation of the Trolley  

P3 – Performing the Procedure  

P4 – Post-Procedure Care  

This structured approach has helped many candidates perform procedures confidently and pass the OSCE examination successfully.

While history taking, communication, counselling, and resuscitation can be practised online, procedural skills must be practised hands-on using mannequins before the examination, as failing a procedure station can significantly affect the overall result.

This workshop focuses on high-yield procedures that are repeatedly tested in the MRCEM OSCE examination. Candidates will also learn:

• How to perform procedures safely  

• How to teach juniors, nurses, parents, and relatives  

• Indications and contraindications  

• Complications and safety-netting  

• Communication during procedures  

Limited Places Available – Only 10 Participants Per Course

This is an intensive, high-yield procedural workshop designed to significantly improve procedural confidence and OSCE performance.
