Re. Mrs. Bonnie Black,

25 Low Road,

Anytown.

DOB: 28 January 1990.

Dear Doctor,

Please see Mrs Black who is planning her first pregnancy. Her main concern is that her brother has cystic fibrosis.

This was the first time I had met her although she has been registered with us for 5 years – her health is good and she has no history of serious illness or surgery.

I have explained that I don’t know much about the implications of the brother’s cystic fibrosis for her potential pregnancies and that she needs to talk to an expert. I have stressed that the risk of her having a child with cystic fibrosis is high and that she needs to be aware that there is a distinct likelihood that any pregnancy would be likely to be affected and need TOP.

Yours sincerely,

John P. Clatter.

7.     Structured discussion. Coronovirus.

         Candidate’s Instructions.

         The examiner will ask you 11 questions. When you have answered a question, you will not be allowed to return as later questions may reveal the answers to earlier questions.
