Leicester-based healthcare education startup OSCE Toolbox has been named Graduate StartUp of the Year (Midlands) at the UK StartUp Awards.
Founded by medical student Leya Luhar, OSCE Toolbox is a digital revision platform helping pharmacy students prepare for clinical exams through realistic practice scenarios and expert-reviewed content. The platform now supports more than 3,000 students across the UK.
Leya said:
“OSCE Toolbox exists for one reason: to help future healthcare professionals walk into real patient care feeling prepared, not terrified. To have the judges see that gap, and believe in what we’re building to close it, means more than I can say.”
The win adds to a strong run of recognition for the startup, which previously won Rising Star in Health Education Technology 2025 and the 2025 University of Leicester Business Start-Up Competition.
