Ethics and Medico-Legal Essentials for Undergraduate OSCEs
Description

Many students find the Ethics and Medico-legal OSCE stations particularly challenging in the final exam. This handbook addresses issues including capacity, consent, child protection, psychiatric illness and death certification by giving examples for each station. Each chapter offers a breakdown of the issues raised by the station, clarifies and contextualises key issues, summarises the relevant guidelines and explains key principals within the clinical context. This book will thus provide the student with strategies to successfully negotiate these challenging stations in a thoughtful, informed and systematic manner.
