Tutorial 26 September 2011

We had two roleplays tonight. To spend the whole session on just 2 roleplays illustrates the need for loads of practice to get slick at doing them.

The first was a pre-op ward round.

Candidate’s Instructions.

You are a SpR doing the pre-operative ward round before today’s Day Case Unit operating list at which you will be assisting the Consultant, Mr. L. A. R. Gehead The patient you are about to see is Ms. Jane Smith who is listed for laparoscopic sterilisation.

You have been asked to do the pre-op check and to get her to sign the consent form for the procedure.

This is the first time you have met Ms. Smith. She was listed for the operation by another SpR.
The hospital notes state that she is 28 years old and has one child. Her general health is good, she does not smoke, is not on any drugs, prescribed or otherwise and has no known allergies.

The second was a consultation in the pre-pregnancy counselling clinic. The GP letter read: "Please see Jane Smith who is planning a pregnancy. Her father was recently diagnosed with Huntington's disease".
