Structured conversation. Prepare obstetric history tutorial.
Candidate’s
instructions.
You
are to conduct a tutorial with hospital’s junior obstetricians and midwives
about how to take an obstetric history. Consider the headlines you would put in
a model for taking and presenting an obstetric history and how you would
conduct the tutorial.
Then
you will have a ‘structured conversation’ with the examiner, who will ask 4
questions.
1. What are your headlines for taking a
history?
2. What clinical situations do you envisage
covering?
3. What teaching methods would you consider
for use in the tutorial.
4. Which methods would be most suitable and
why.

Role-play. Emergency contraception.
Candidate’s
instructions.
You
are the SpR on call for gynaecology and have been asked to see Jennifer Jones
who has attended the A&E department requesting EC.
43. Structured

Candidate’s
instructions.
The
examiner will ask 17 questions. When you have answered a question and moved on you
will not be allowed to return to an earlier question and no marks will be given
if you do, so you will just be wasting time.
