100 model consultations
What does an excellent 12-minute SCA consultation actually sound like? Each of these is a full two-way consultation written to score highly in all three domains and to stay patient-centred throughout. Every phase has its timing and an examiner note explaining why it scores, and each case ends with a debrief across Data gathering, Clinical management and Relating to others.
How to use them. Don't learn the lines: examiners notice rehearsed phrases. Copy the shape instead: how the doctor follows the first cue, explores ideas, concerns and expectations, explains using the patient's own words, shares the decision and safety-nets. Try Pause and Predict: the script stops at key moments and asks what you would say before showing the model line. Then practise the same case live in the Hot Seat.
