I think that the zoom assessment was much better than face to face. It removed that extra pressure and anxiety which in the past i know has affected my performance on the day.

For the future cohort,  to make the assessment more fair for everyone over the two days i think that the scenario should be picked out of an anonymous 3 on the day.

Much preferred the Zoom VIVA - less nervous, more comfortable, more relaxed.

I would have benefited from a mock - the scenario through me off with it being so thorough - I was under the impression it would have been a very basic/broad scenario and so the number of factors within it did stumble me.

Overall, enjoyed the module and the VIVA definitely helps intellectually, relating to real life scenarios.

I would have preferred a face to face VIVA because i felt more reassured in a face to face scenario rather than using zoom. Maybe because I like to be reassured with the marker writing things down/ highlighting which meant i was going in the right direction! I know a lot of people preferred it though! (PS I was not in my own environment so that might have made me feel like that too).
A mock would have definitely been more useful! I personally thought a lot about how to classify the low, medium and high risk as people had different views and that confused me while revising so i would have had clarification if I had feedback from a mock. Also some information that people uploaded for revision material was not always correct.
I really liked the session working on scenarios in groups and we could ask you questions if we confused each other with different approaches.
It was hard to access some trust guidelines as not all trusts allow home access, is there any way of uploaded some trust guidelines to blackboard for people to use for revision prep?

Much preferred the remote viva, took the nerves of waiting around in uni away, definitely felt more at ease in my own environment. Also agree that a mock/example would definitely Have been helpful as felt I kept going round in circles with ‘what if’s’ as wasn’t 100% what was expected/ how much detail was required in each section of the mark table. However do feel viva prep is great for interview practice and placement!

I thought the VIVA by Zoom was better than having to travel in for a face to face assessment. It saved time travelling to uni, stress finding a parking space in time and money for fuel and parking. As we were under lockdown we had the stresses of children at home but under normal circumstances we would've just got childcare as normal and not have them there. The assessment felt less intimidating than being face-to-face with examiners whilst still being interactive and in real time. I would suggest doing a mock though as, no matter how much the process is explained, we all still panicked as it was fear of the unknown. We have never even heard of a VIVA Voca before this so definately a mock or example video would have been useful. Lastly, the teaching for this was so long ago, I would recommend more sessions closer to the VIVA as the taught sessions in 2019 had completely left my head because they were not a high priority for me, at that time.

I was happy with the remote VIVA, took away the added stress of getting uni, parking, paying for parking etc and felt less like a 1-1 interview and more of a discussion as it was via Zoom.
A mock would have been helpful to understand what was expected of us and allow for feedforward before the assessment.

- what would be the content

I definitely thought that the remote VIVA was better, I felt much more at ease being in home surroundings and felt that it was much less intimidating, therefore my nerves weren’t running as wild they normally would! I would always suggest a mock, especially with the VIVA as most of the time when revising I was thinking about what it was actually going to be like, if we had a mock, I wouldn’t have worried about this as much! Hope this helps :)

I personally thought the remote OSCE was better. Being in my own environment made me feel more confident and relaxed. I would definitely recommend future remote OSCE's.
