Your task

Take a focused history from this patient. Summarise the important information, explain your working assessment and discuss the next step.

Starting information

  • Your partner will give you the presenting complaint and any information available at the start.
  • This is a simulated consultation. Do not assume findings that have not been provided.

Suggested practice time: 6–8 minutes, then feedback and a repeat attempt. This is a practice suggestion; follow your examination instructions for official timing.
