The universal GP Training website for everyone, not just Bradford.   Created in 2002 by Dr Ramesh Mehay

CSA practice cases

Here are some cases that you may wish to use to practise for the CSA.   This page will be gradually populated with more and more cases.  Please don’t do these cases on your own – practise them with someone else.  You need to physically practise rather than trying to ‘play’ them in your mind.  Buddy up with some fellow trainees.  Ask your trainer if he or she will play the patient.

Here are some video clips demonstrating simple ways of explaining common medical conditions.  You don’t have to copy these – try and use them to develop your own personal style.  Examiners get bored of hearing the exact same explanation from 50 different trainees on say a diabetes station.    Develop your own style.  These clips are taken from: www.pennine-gp-training.co.uk/csa-videos-common-medical-conditions-explained.htm

How IT ALL STARTED
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
WHO ARE WE FOR?

Bradford VTS was created by Dr. Ramesh Mehay, a Programme Director for Bradford GP Training Scheme back in 2001. Over the years, it has seen many permutations.  At the time, there were very few resources for GP trainees and their trainers so Bradford decided to create one FOR EVERYONE. 

So, we see Bradford VTS as  the INDEPENDENT vocational training scheme website providing a wealth of free medical resources for GP trainees, their trainers and TPDs everywhere and anywhere.  We also welcome other health professionals – as we know the site is used by both those qualified and in training – such as Associate Physicians, ANPs, Medical & Nursing Students. 

Our fundamental belief is to openly and freely share knowledge to help learn and develop with each other.  Feel free to use the information – as long as it is not for a commercial purpose.   

We have a wealth of downloadable resources and we also welcome copyright-free educational material from all our users to help build our rich resource (send to bradfordvts@gmail.com).

Our sections on (medical) COMMUNICATION SKILLS and (medical) TEACHING & LEARNING are perhaps the best and most comprehensive on the world wide web (see white-on-black menu header section on the homepage).
