8. Basic
“blurbs”.
There
are a lot of chunks of text that come up time and again when chatting to
patients. It is good to get these practised so that you can deliver them
quickly and efficiently and not miss important points. An absolute basic is the
GP referral letter. Likewise basic pre-pregnancy counselling, which gets and
extra mark or two in any appropriate station.
