Group C Presentation Plan

Hi Guys,

It’s that time of year again – presentation time! Now the MRCGP exams are over, and I’ve had a nice mini-break in Rome, I thought I had better type up our action plan since we are discussing it tomorrow at half day release.

So, as a group, we’ve decided to do a presentation/ISCE on Women’s Health, as many of us felt we lacked knowledge and skills in different aspects of common women’s health problems.

We’ve decided to do 6 ISCE stations over the afternoon, 15 minutes each, 3 before the break and 3 after. There will be at least one of us (from group C) supervising each station. We have also managed to persuade a lady called Angela to help us for the afternoon; she is an obs & gynae clinical skills tutor and she can provide a female mannequin for the PV examination.

Thanks to everyone who attended this session for volunteering to do the different stations. For those who weren’t there, we hope you don’t mind that we’ve put you down to help out with a particular topic.

If you read this in time, can you print it out and bring it tomorrow. I have some info on family planning, sexual health, and menstrual problems which I’ll bring along. If anyone has useful info on any of the following topics please bring it to the session.
