Communication Skills Cases for Tutorials
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.
September’s Cases:
This month’s ES tutorial cases explore communication when urgent sclinical or safeguarding risk sits alongside patient autonomy, confidentiality and deeply personal priorities.
Trainees will practise supporting a 17-year-old requesting termination of pregnancy where confidentiality, competence and a position-of-trust safeguarding concern must be handled carefully, and a palliative patient with new severe back pain and neurological symptoms who is frightened that urgent hospital assessment will undermine his wish to remain at home.
Both cases require careful balance: respecting autonomy without ignoring vulnerability or risk, explaining the limits of confidentiality and choice transparently, recognising urgent danger without becoming coercive, and creating a clear, compassionate plan that protects safety while preserving trust.

Communication Skills
Cases exploring complex communication where clinical urgency, ethical judgement and patient autonomy all need to be held together.
Trainees will practise staying calm, clear and compassionate.
The cases require careful balance: being honest without overwhelming, recognising urgent risk without becoming coercive, respecting patient choice without ignoring vulnerability, and creating clear, practical plans that protect safety while preserving trust.

Four ready-to-use clinical communication cases for GP trainees, designed for role-play, tutorial discussion and structured feedback.

Each case includes candidate information, patient/actor briefing, clinical management considerations, educator notes and feedback guidance mapped to the RCGP SCA domains.
Six realistic mock SCA-style cases for GP trainees, designed for structured role-play, timed practice and feedback across a varied range of primary care consultations.
