Learning objectives

By the end of this simulation, you will have a comprehensive understanding of conducting a health assessment as part of primary care, which is essential for a career as a General Practitioner. You will also gain practical experience in taking patient history, performing physical examination, formulating potential diagnoses, creating a management plan, and documenting medical reports, thereby honing your practical clinical skills. Now that you're all prepped, mark this section as complete and let's make a start on the simulation module!

Conclusion

• Explain the significance of a thorough health assessment in making an accurate diagnosis and providing correct treatment.

• Apply the principles of patient history taking and physical examination to a simulated patient case.
• Compile and organise the data collected from history taking and physical examination effectively.

• Analyse the patient data collected to pinpoint symptoms and signs that indicate potential diagnoses.
• Interpret physical examination findings to aid in the diagnosis of the patient's condition.

• Formulate a thorough management plan based on the differential diagnoses, the working diagnosis (if possible) and current medical guidelines.
• Document a comprehensive medical report of the patient case and present it in a structured manner.

• Assess the quality, relevance, and reliability of the patient data collected.
• Evaluate potential diagnoses based on symptoms, signs, and patient history.
• Create differential diagnoses and justify each potential diagnosis.
• Where possible arrive at a working diagnosis to guide the creation of a management plan.

• Identify the steps involved in a patient health assessment, including history taking, physical examination, data interpretation, and management plan formulation.
