Candidate instructions
You are a foundation year doctor in the Emergency Department. A 58-year-old male presents with acute central chest pain, sweating and nausea. He has no cardiovascular history. A 12-lead ECG is provided. Interpret the ECG, determine the diagnosis, and discuss the immediate management. You have 8 minutes.
How the station runs
- 60 seconds of reading time with the instructions above, and nothing else.
- 8 minutes on the clock, with a warning bell before the end.
- The examiner's checklist, 12 weighted items worth 18 marks, revealed only when the station ends.
- Your score, with a critical-fail flag if a safety-critical item was missed.
The checklist stays hidden until the station is over, exactly as it would outside the exam room.
