Helloo Friend!
Hema Here!
Let us see what equipments you need for your Big CSA day!
Get everything ready a week before. Yes, A WEEK before.
Because, I know one of my colleagues was worried about if she needed any Peak flow chart or EDD chart!
Check your batteries!
All You Need – Only Eight Equipments :
You should bring your doctor’s bag containing the usual diagnostic equipment with you, including:
- BNF (Nothing should be marked or written. Tags are ok)
- Stethoscope
- Ophthalmoscope
- Auroscope
- Thermometer
- Patella hammer
- Tape measure
- Peak flow meter and disposable mouthpieces (N.B. These must be EU standard)
Please note that there is no need to bring a sphygmomanometer
It is your responsibility to ensure you have these items available by the time you sit the CSA. There will be no spare sets of equipment if you fail to bring anything, and in that event you will have to role play the assessment.
N.B. All BNFs must be free of additional/hand-written notes: they may be checked before the start of the assessment and removed if they contain notes.
Dress Code:
A Dress Code is available as guidance to postgraduate doctors undertaking licensing assessments as part of the MRCGP examinations.
It has been written in conjunction with Deanery guidance, and applies also to situations of recruitment to GP training, work based training itself and assessment.
Please ensure you are familiar with this before sitting the exam. A copy is available on the website under the ‘Regulations and documents’ tab.
Thats All,
To Your Success,
Hema xoxo.
