Thank you for participating in the session today and making it interesting and useful.

In the rapid random review we discussed:

• Familial short stature – ‘question to parents “How tall were you at that age’? Bone age.
• Chronic fatigue syndrome  – Diagnosis of exclusion – Physio regime – Depression
• Healing loss in a six-year-old – Glue ear / Post meningitis / Congenital

The clinical scenario for communication was to speak to parents of a new born baby born with absent external years and a small Jaw – Treacher Collins syndrome. Dr A was an excellent role player and Dr A was in the hotseat with Dr A & Dr S as examiners proved targeted feedback with examples.
Learning points were:

• RRR topics very useful and good guide to reading for more information
• Respond to concerns of the role player – do not ignore them
• Write down the name of parent or child so you can address them appropriately
• Avoid jargon
• READ the task and information provided CAREFULLY – EACH word has significance
• Be a POSITIVE doctors – not one of doom & gloom
• Be reassuring to role player.
• It is acting and I am not good at it – need to practice.
