Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Levi Kelly, 7, presenting with two months of nosebleeds; his grandmother, Rhonda Kelly, is talking with you while he waits outside with his aunty.

  1. Take a focused history from Levi's grandmother

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
  • You do not need to examine Levi
  • You do not need to summarise your findings to the examiner
  • The examiner will ask you questions at the end
