42. Risk
management. Viva.
Candidate’s instructions.
This is a viva station. The topic is the principles
underlying risk management.
The viva is unstructured: the examiner will not ask
questions.
43. Complaint. Mis-filed combined
Ds test report.
Candidate's Instructions.
You are the SpR in the ante-natal clinic. The consultant
has been called to the labour ward to help with a case of placenta accreta and
you have been put in charge of the clinic.
Mrs Jones had a “combined test” at 11 weeks which gave a
risk of Down’s syndrome of 1: 40. The report had been filed in the notes in
error by a clerk without being shown to any of the medical or midwifery staff.
She attended today for the routine 20 week scan. The ultrasonographer found the
report in the notes, realised that no action had been taken and sent her to see
the midwife in the antenatal clinic. The midwife told her the result and made
arrangements for the patient to see you today.
44. Breech
delivery.
Candidate’s instructions.
You are the SpR on call for the delivery unit. It is
still unusually quiet. The on-call consultant has been told that you did a
brilliant job of explaining normal labour and delivery on a previous occasion.
She has asked you to explain vaginal breech delivery to a new FY2, who is keen
on a career in O&G.
45. Diathermy.
Candidate's Instructions.
This is a ‘structured conversation’ station about
diathermy and its uses and complications.
The examiner will ask you 8 questions.
When you have completed an answer, you are not allowed to
return.
