Tonight we had a roleplay and then a labour ward scenario. The scenario was written many years ago - when OSCEs were first used in the MRCOG - as you will see from some of the language.

It illustrates the techniques for this type of station.
Send me your answer and I'll send what actually happened - this was a real scenario.
