Your scenario and task

Ravi Patel has diabetes and requests a nursing review of his left foot. Perform a focused assessment, discuss your findings and organise follow-up. His GP can be contacted during the visit.

What this type of station practises

Build an assessment around the presenting concern rather than reciting every assessment you know. Combine the person’s account, relevant examination and a clear next step.

In “A community foot review”, use the task in the reading card to decide what to assess, explain and record in community. Practise explaining a respiratory review, a focused neurological check or a limb assessment. Use the information supplied in the reading card; do not assume findings that were never given.

These are general rehearsal aims, not the answers to this scenario. Respond to information obtained during practice rather than a memorised solution.

Say-and-do preparation

Prepare the sequence and language with a related checklist. Online rehearsal develops thinking and explanations; physical technique needs supervised in-person practice.
