Rising cancer incidence and increasing complexity of cancer treatments are major challenges for health professionals. Teaching of acute oncology emergencies is an important aspect of undergraduate medical training. At the Leeds Cancer Centre (LCC) we have run medical undergraduate Oncology teaching OSCE sessions for fourth year medical students for the past 6 years. These sessions provide valuable formative assessment and immediate feedback on performance for the students at the end of their oncology and palliative care attachment. Feedback for facilitators from students has consistently been excellent. We feel teaching OSCEs are a useful method of delivering teaching about acute oncology emergencies and assessing performance following a placement within our cancer centre.
