Slide 16-

How did it feel? Worst bit was the waiting No surprises Nothing came up which you wouldn’t expect in a normal surgery in fact probably a lot more straight forward i.e patient only had 1 problem Be yourself Don’t panic even if you muck up a case If you don’t know something admit this to a patient Don’t waste time writing prescriptions/ sick notes
Slide 17-

On reflection What went well Get a revision group together- minimum 3 Have a consultation plan Videoing Practising cases with your trainer Courses: Pennine CSA course, RCGP, HDR mock CSA Cases- look at topic domains and write your own Suitable accommodation (including Euston building itself) 0% interest credit card
Slide 18-

Reflection cont What went less well Books cases fairly complicated and not all have marking schemes Make sure you don’t all have the same ones!! Make sure you are consulting at 10 minutes What I would change Attend a mock CSA; invaluable experience Discuss difficult everyday cases with colleagues Don’t talk about it once you are out
Slide 19-

Any Questions?
Slide 20-

Final word..... Do what you would normally do in a surgery Don’t try to second-guess the case.. Remember you’re the patient’s advocate!
