TEALE FENNING

The 5th September is not that far away!

37 days in fact Shocked

Thought it might be a good idea to see if any of you had some top predictions for the short answer paper.

I have a few, all of which we will cover on the Essay Practice Course on the 12th & 13th August but I would still like to hear your thoughts.

For now ....

Teenage pregnancy is topical - you could be asked how to address this issue i.e. 'prevent'

The NICE fertility guideline has not really been addressed particularly the assessment of a subfertile couple or the treatment of unexplained subfertility

The oncologists have been quiet recently - how about cancer of the vulva or maybe cervix - cervical cancer in pregnancy would be interesting as would breast!

Family planning is featuring more and more but I predict you will be asked about this in conjunction with a medical disorder such as epilepsy, diabetes, sickle cell, cardiac disease, thrombophilia, inflammatory bowel disease i.e. counselling of an epileptic who requires contraception

If you don't get a contraception question featuring a medical disorder I am certain you will get one in the Obstetric paper.

I also think you will a generic question about surgery (materials, incisions, complicatiosn etc) or maybe consent. A bit like the antibiotic question last time.

Food for thought ... Wink

Let's get 2006 out of the way first Wink

If we try and spot 10 questions we may well get some for this and the next exam anyway.
