The Clinical Consultation Day — UK management scenarios, expert feedback
A dedicated, full-day Clinical Consultation and Refresher of UK Clinical Management Scenarios at the Royal Society of Medicine. You consult; expert clinicians observe; and you receive individualised, structured feedback on your own consultation performance — in the UK's preferred Calgary–Cambridge style.
1 Wimpole Street, Marylebone, London W1G 0AE · all day · places strictly limited to 36.
Consult, be observed, improve — against real UK scenarios
Most courses tell you about UK clinical practice. This day makes you do it: you work through UK clinical management scenarios in observed consultation stations, and experienced clinicians give you immediate, individualised feedback. You leave with a refreshed command of the core UK pathways and a written personal action plan for your consultation style.
Five UK clinical-management scenario domains
Each domain is taught through observed consultation scenarios with structured feedback — not lectures.
2-week-wait referrals
Recognising the presentations that mandate an urgent suspected-cancer referral, and communicating the referral to the patient clearly and kindly.
Safeguarding
Adult and child safeguarding scenarios — recognition, escalation, documentation and the conversations that surround them.
Mental capacity
Capacity assessment in practice — the two-stage test, best-interests decisions, and consulting the patient who may lack capacity.
Resuscitation
Resuscitation scenarios and escalation decisions, including the sensitive DNACPR conversation.
Complaint management
Responding professionally to a complaint — the NHS complaints framework, the duty of candour, and the consultation that de-escalates.
Consultation craft
Every station is also a consultation-skills station — observed, marked and fed back in the Calgary–Cambridge style.
Feedback in the Calgary–Cambridge style
The UK's preferred consultation architecture — five sequential stages, held together by two continuous threads.
Support for future PLAB 2 (MLA CPSA) candidates — stated plainly
MD Acumen does not formally offer PLAB 1 or PLAB 2 OSCE training courses.
Saturday 22 August is a dedicated Clinical Consultation and Refresher of UK Clinical Management Scenarios. Because it builds key elements of core knowledge, UK clinical referral pathways and the UK's preferred consultation style (Calgary–Cambridge), it provides significant support for candidates who intend to sit the future PLAB 2 OSCE — which is set to the GMC's new MLA CPSA syllabus from September 2026. Candidates preparing for these professional licensing examinations should also use the GMC's own resources.
