Summary 

In Practique for Browser (P4B) participants of an Exam (both OSCE and Written) are often required to view Resources. Resources include Patient notes, histories, DICOM images, multiple page PDFs and other forms of documentation included to aid the Candidate, Examiner or Role Player.

The Resource Viewer functionality has been updated for all types of Resources used in Practique and is relevant to both written exams and OSCEs.
