Patient Contact

Working in small groups students will be presented with a number of possible conditions for the genuine patients that they will encounter. Through examination and reasoning your goal is to make a correct diagnosis for your patients. This practical will be supervised and supported by lectures with all equipment provided.

Additional Typical Conditions

In the coming weeks further information will be placed onto the web-site to prepare you for this important clinical session.
(Please note students must be logged-in to view these additional materials.)

Once you are a delegate you will receive a Medlink Website Codeword and then you will be able to view the Patient Contact - Additional Conditions page shown in the right hand column.

The final list of typical illnesses will be made available a few weeks before the Medlink Conference and made available to all students who have booked the Medlink conference.
