Lesson 2

Appropriateness

In this lesson, we start looking at the "appropriateness" type of questions and lay out a step by step strategy on how to answer questions related to this.

Lesson 3

Importance

We look at the "importance" type of question in Situational Judgement and help you understand how to differentiate between very important and not important at all

Lesson 4

Tackling the Scenario

Here we give you our expert strategy which has been devised by current doctors and medical students based on their insight into the clinical environment.

Lesson 5

Knowing Your Role

When you are faced with a scenario, you have to identify the status and profession of the person involved. E.g. capabilities and responsibilities of a GP will be very different to that of a Medical Student.

Lesson 6

Key Principles

We give you an overview of the principles of situational judgement including patient safety and professionalism. You will learn which of these are most important in a clinical setting.

Lesson 7

Patient Safety

The most important thing you are taught as a medical student is to always be safe! It is drilled in and is the most important quality in medicine

Lesson 8

Working with Remits

This applies in particular to situations revolving around medical students - Medical students are not authorised to make decisions surrounding medical care or give any treatment

Lesson 9

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is important for many reasons - this includes patient trust in the profession. Patients are often anxious to come to doctors and so when they do inform them of information they expect that it will not be told to anyone else

Lesson 10

Professionalism

Doctors and dentists should be responsible in healthcare setting and outside healthcare settings. This means that all students and doctors should act responsibly as they are representing a whole profession

Lesson 11

Honesty & Integrity

Everyone makes mistakes and it's important that if mistakes are made that we follow the right protocol to identify them You should not directly influence patients’ decision - the modern model of healthcare is patient centred - we want patients to be at the heartbeat of their decisions.

Lesson 12

Teamwork & Respect

No one is above anyone else - it’s why doctors and nurses wear the same type of scrubs. We go through common SJT scenarios around this and help you spot key patterns in their questions.
