14. EMQ. Anti-D.

15. Role-play. Developmental dysplasia of the hip.
Candidate’s instructions.
You are the SpR in the antenatal clinic. Jenny Brown has been booked in her second pregnancy by the midwife. She has some questions about congenital dislocation of the hip, which affected her first child, now 6 years old. The midwife who did the booking does not feel able to provide adequate answers and has asked you to see the patient.

16.  Structured discussion. Labour Ward Scenario 1.
Candidate’s instructions.
You are the registrar on duty and responsible for the labour and gynae wards. I know you won’t have both duties nowadays, but I have kept the original to make it harder.
You have just had the handover. Your task is to discuss the overall management of the wards with the examiner, to prioritise the patients and decide the allocation of staff to care for them.
This station was written for the first tutorial I ran for the OSCE exam when it was introduced more than 20 years ago. There are a number of phrases and concepts that reveal this distant origin, but I have retained them for nostalgic reasons. I ran the tutorial on a Sunday afternoon when I was on-call and using what was happening on the labour and gynae wards that day.
