PLAB 2 Mock: Declining Patient Requests (Sick Note)

A free Zoom Webinar recorded in Feb 2024 where Dr Hashim and a PLAB 2 candidate roleplay a concerned mother requesting a sick note for a childcare issue. Dr Hashim then gives the candidate feedback and discusses sick notes, employment leave options and gives a suggested approach to handling these kind of unreasonable patient requests. He also discusses how to apply ICE assessments across different consultation types, applying the Biopsychosocial model to your consultations, managing a patient's situation rather than their condition and ways you can demonstrate to the examiner that you are a safe doctor.
