Dear All

Thank you participating in our session.

In RRR we discussed:

  • Familial short stature
  • Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of Newborn
  • Itching in 5 yr old

Mini mock was History and Management. Dr A was in the hotseat and Dr M was the Role player. 7 year old had frequent visits to A&E following fits. she was found to be normal on each occasions. Dr A managed the station well and was able to get to the cause of the frequent visits – carer unable to cope due to recent family bereavement. Some details were missed as too much time was taken up by neonatal history.

Learning points:

  • Plan a structure to your task with Differential in mind
  • Divide your 9 & 13 minutes in small chunks so as to touch on most important points
  • ‘What were you told at time of discharge from hospital / NICU?’
  • You will get all the necessary information without taking up too much time.
  • Summary at 9 minutes – brief and to act as reminder on what else to cover
