What do UK medical-school finals involve, and how do you practise for them?
The clinical half of UK finals is the Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment, which your own medical school sets and runs. MedMock lets you rehearse the skills it tests — history taking, explaining and counselling, breaking bad news, ethics, prescribing, acute management, data interpretation and clinical reasoning — out loud against a realistic AI patient or examiner, with instant feedback after every station.

Medical-school finals practice, on demand
Preparation for UK medical-school finals. Practise the bedside skills the GMC outcomes require — interpreting data, taking a focused history, breaking bad news, ethics & capacity, prescribing safely, and managing the acutely unwell patient — to UK final-year medical-student standard.
MedMock gives you a simulated patient who responds realistically, available 24/7. Pick a station, have a spoken conversation, and ask for examiner-style feedback when you finish, scored against what genuinely matters in the Medical School UK.
How it works
Choose a station
Pick from the Medical School UK stations — all 8 that MedMock runs, or let MedMock surprise you the way exam day will.
Have the conversation
Speak naturally, out loud. The AI patient or examiner responds in real time — with follow-up questions, emotions, cues and unexpected turns, just like the real stations.
Get instant feedback
The moment you finish, you get specific, examiner-style feedback and a score — what you did well, what cost you marks, and precisely what to fix before the next attempt.
Practise every station
UK finals have no single national format. Their clinical part is the Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment (CPSA) of the GMC's Medical Licensing Assessment, which each medical school sets and runs in its own way, often as an OSCE, with its own stations and timings. MedMock practises eight of the skills in the GMC's Outcomes for graduates as 10-minute practice stations of its own design, spoken except for the artefact you read on screen in Data Interpretation. Physical examination and practical procedures are hands-on and are not simulated, and prescribing is also assessed separately in the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA).
Data Interpretation
Interpret a 12-lead ECG, chest radiograph, blood gas, FBC/U&E/LFT/troponin, or other bedside investigation against a paired clinical vignette. Reason aloud through the systematic interpretation, name the diagnosis, give differentials, and explain immediate + definitive management to UK final-year medical-student standard.
History Taking
Take a focused, structured history from a virtual patient presenting with a common acute or chronic complaint (chest pain, breathlessness, abdominal pain, headache, collapse, fatigue, etc). Demonstrate ICE, red-flag screening, social impact, and a clear summary back to the patient.
Communication & Counselling
Counsel a patient on a new diagnosis or treatment in plain English (eg new type 2 diabetes, asthma inhaler technique, warfarin counselling, smoking cessation). Demonstrate teach-back, ICE, written-information offer, and clear safety netting.
Breaking Bad News
Deliver a difficult diagnosis or prognosis to a patient or relative using a SPIKES-style framework. Test pacing, warning shot, chunking, silence, emotion handling, and follow-up planning at student-appropriate level.
Ethics & Professionalism
Work through a finals-level ethics scenario — consent, capacity (MCA 4-pillar test), confidentiality, duty of candour, mistakes on the ward, raising peer concerns. Verbalise reasoning against GMC Good Medical Practice and the relevant statute.
Prescribing
Prescribe safely against a clinical scenario — drug, dose, route, frequency, duration, allergies, interactions. Practise common finals scenarios: paracetamol/opioid analgesia ladder, fluid resuscitation, sepsis-six antibiotics, asthma exacerbation, anaphylaxis, anticoagulation, insulin sliding scales.
Acute Management (A–E)
Manage a deteriorating patient using a structured A–E approach. Common finals presentations: sepsis, anaphylaxis, MI, asthma exacerbation, PE, hypoglycaemia, opioid overdose. Verbalise immediate priorities, monitoring, escalation, and definitive treatment.
Clinical Reasoning Viva
Examiner-led short case viva — given a 1–2 sentence vignette, walk through differentials, focused investigations, working diagnosis, and management plan. Trains the rapid-fire 'what would you do next?' decision-making expected at finals.
Sample Medical School UK questions
Two questions from the topics that come up most in MedMock's Medical School UK bank.
“Speak to the parents of a 3-month-old infant admitted with poor weight gain and a chest infection. Break the news that sweat and genetic testing have confirmed cystic fibrosis, and discuss what this means for their child.”
“A staff nurse calls you to review a patient with known asthma who is speaking in single words, has a respiratory rate of 32, and oxygen saturations of 88% on air. Talk through your immediate A-E assessment and management steps.”
Example scenarios
A sample of the Medical School UK scenarios you can practise, each as a spoken conversation.
“A 67-year-old man presents with crushing central chest pain, sweaty and clammy. Vitals: BP 138/82, HR 92, RR 18, SpO₂ 97% on air. Interpret the ECG and troponin shown to you, give your top differential, and walk through your immediate management.”
“A 58-year-old woman presents to her GP with a four-week history of intermittent epigastric pain. Take a focused history covering red flags, ICE, and social context.”
“A 42-year-old man has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (HbA1c 62 mmol/mol). Counsel him on the diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and starting metformin.”
“A 61-year-old's CT scan has shown findings consistent with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Break this news to her at her outpatient appointment. Her husband is in the room.”
“An 86-year-old woman with mild dementia refuses surgery for a fractured neck of femur. Walk me through your capacity assessment and how you would proceed.”
“A 74-year-old admitted with community-acquired pneumonia, NEWS2 of 7, allergic to penicillin. Talk the examiner through the sepsis-six antibiotics and IV fluids you would prescribe, and justify each entry.”
“A 22-year-old with known asthma is brought to ED unable to complete sentences, RR 32, SpO₂ 88% on air, peak flow 30% predicted. Walk me through your A–E assessment and immediate management.”
“A 70-year-old presents with a three-day history of unilateral leg swelling and pleuritic chest pain. Walk me through your top differential, the investigations you would order, and your management plan.”
Medical School UK dates 2026–27
Medical school finals OSCEs (the Medical Licensing Assessment’s clinical and professional skills assessment) are set and run by each medical school, so there is no national date. Your school publishes its own assessment calendar. Checked against General Medical Council (GMC) on 24 September 2026.
Exam dates change. MedMock is not affiliated with General Medical Council (GMC); confirm every date, application window and venue on the official site before you book. General Medical Council (GMC)
Medical School UK practice — your questions answered
How does the feedback work?
When you finish a station you can have it marked, and the scorecard comes back in seconds — what you did well, what cost you marks, and exactly what to work on next. Scorecards, mark schemes and model answers are included at no extra credit cost.
Can I practise specific Medical School UK stations?
Yes. You can pick any of the 8 stations to drill a weak area, or run a Full Mock that takes you through the stations MedMock practises, back to back.
How much does it cost?
You can start with a one-off £5 taster: 30 credits, which is 30 minutes of speaking practice, with no subscription. After that, or at any time, you can choose a monthly plan, which includes a monthly credit allowance. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Formats change from year to year: check the official candidate guidance or applicant handbook from the body that runs your exam or interview (the Royal Colleges, NHS England, the GMC and others) for your sitting.
