Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Glenn Haverford, 44, who says he has not been coping since he lost his job.

  1. Take a focused history

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
  • You do not need to examine the patient or discuss management
  • You do not need to summarise your findings to the examiner
  • The examiner will ask you one question at the end
