Hi,
My exam is soon and i need notes that summarize the management in nice way. I keep forgetting things. Need something for Last Minute Revision.

Hello!

I’m not sure if this platform has LMR (Last Minute Revision) for all the managements. I’m sure that would be very high yield for the PLAB 2 exam. If I came across one, I’ll share it with you ASAP.

You can try this but still need more cases to be added to it.

Hello there!

I’m fourth time PLAB 2 taker. Every time I’ve been there for the exam, the most important issue for me is the time management. I am too bad at it.
Do you guys have any tips and tricks for me how to tackle this?

Thank you in anticipation!

Hey! I’m not an expert but this is what I know:

  1. Management part is patient center so you need to focus on the pt conerned first after saying the diagnosis . Say coming to your concerne xx .
  2. Try to organise your management: For example: admit or not - investigations - symptomatic treatment (specific to his condition, involve risk factors here "So we gonna give u XYZ because you have ABC) - Safety Netting.
  3. Time-to-time ask patient: Am I clear so far? Are you following? Do you think you can do that ?
  4. History taking is Dr centred . Management part is pt centered focus on the pt.
  5. About time management ask relevent Q only and try to have 3-4 min for management.

Good Luck!

Hey!! It’s takes a lot of courage to come out and ask for help.

Your query on how to manage time during 8-minute role-play? these are my 2 cents:

  1. Having good overall structure specified to each kind of station. for example: BBN, history based station, counselling station, etc. I’m working on that right now, trying to create a unified system. https://plabforum.co.uk/t/compiled-plab-2-case-structures/4270?u=user0000000
  2. Having good knowledge about what to ask in each scenario. For example: red flags, risk factors, dds
  3. Lots of practice with people who actually knows how the cases comes.
  4. You should have prepared one line definition for each diagnosis, with clear management idea for each case, you can practice saying management in 1-2 minutes.
  5. People have this wrong understanding of starting with practices and then they study cases accordingly, that’s wrong practice. Ideally one should first do detailed self study of their own study material and then move to practices. After that shift to revising your study material. Then come back to practice.

If you do all those things eventually you’ll spend less time on thinking and more time on listening and observing the simulator.

I hope this helps! Don’t hesitate to comment below and we’ll guide you further.
