The MRCPCH clinical examination assesses whether candidates have reached the standard in clinical skills expected of a newly appointed specialist registrar, while the DCH recognises the competence of GPs and other health professionals in caring for children. Success in communication skills is vital to achieve overall success in these examinations. This revised and expanded Second Edition includes over a dozen new scenarios for both examinations, a new chapter on the general approach to effective communication, an expanded clinical exam mark sheet, anchor statements and exam circuit diagrams. Although written to aid candidates for the clinical MRCPCH and DCH examinations, this book will also be useful to paediatric trainees in their day-to-day clinical encounters. 'The fact that the second edition of this book is due out within two years of its original publication in itself speaks of the popularity of this book and highlights the importance of the subject. The new edition will continue to play a major role in improving the skills and understanding of effective communication skills.' - from the Foreword by Sunil K Sinha Common terms and phrases: 9 minutes 9-minute station consisting ability to communicate approximately 2 minutes ask questions asking irrelevant questions baby Background information basic bell sounds blood busy DGH Children’s outpatient complete the communication concerns condition Confirm consisting of spoken consultant convey information cystic fibrosis difficult discuss disease Dylan encounter examination room examine a patient explain the diagnosis focused follow-up gestation heart hospital infection instruction sheet invited marked medical student minutes left mother MRCPCH Neonatal registrar neonatal unit notes nurse outpatient clinic oxygen Paediatric registrar Paediatric specialist registrar paediatric ward paper provided parents penalised for asking Points to consider pregnancy procedure providing superfluous information questions or providing read this sheet Reassure required to examine risk Role scan Setting sheet and prepare Side room specialist registrar speed spoken interaction station to read steroids surgical syndrome take this instruction talking Task tertiary treatment understanding warn weeks worried written information
