Tonight we started with a tutorial in which an SpR had to teach a junior trainee the basics of suturing. Not ideal to listen to with no video! You need to practise suturing and knot-tying. I find that most trainees have not been taught the basic principles and we discussed them during the tutorial. You also need to sort out a plan for a training station as there are a lot of elements that are the same, whatever you are teaching.
Then we had a pre-pregnancy counselling station with a nulliparous woman whose brother has Fragile X Syndrome. On reflection, we spent a lot of time on it yet didn't cover everything, e.g. PIGD. I think that a role-play would be too much to do in the time and that a structured viva would be more likely.
