Tutorial cases
Ready-to-use consultation cases for GP trainers and educational supervisors. Each case is designed for tutorial discussion, role-play or small-group teaching, with a focus on clinical reasoning, communication, patient priorities and safe management.
Some cases are written for one-to-one ES tutorials; others can be adapted for group teaching or SCA-style practice.
August’s Cases:
This month’s ES tutorial cases explore communication when anger reflects feeling dismissed, unheard or blocked from meaningful help.
Trainees will practise responding to a woman with heavy menstrual bleeding who feels repeatedly fobbed off, and a parent worried about her young child’s speech development who believes professionals are relying too heavily on “wait and see.”
Both cases require careful balance: acknowledging the impact and emotion without becoming defensive or simply conceding to the requested outcome, completing a focused clinical assessment despite the pressure in the room, and creating a clear, active plan that leaves the patient or parent feeling taken seriously
