The following case is a simulation which may be encountered during every day work, regarding the diagnosis and treatment of a child with a specific illness.
The learning objectives are:
1. To improve knowledge on common childhood conditions
2. To be able to distinguish between different childhood conditions
3. To improve knowledge of OTC treatment in children
4. To be aware of the reference sources available
There are 2 parts to the scenario. The first section is a free-text section which will allow you to ask any questions you feel necessary. Once you begin typing a question, a drop-down list may appear allowing you to ask one of the questions suggested, or you can ask something else. Once you have asked all the questions you feel are required, there is a 'Diagnose' button which you can click on and enter the condition you think the child has. If this diagnosis is correct you will move onto the second part of the scenario. If this diagnosis is incorrect you will be redirected to ask the patient more questions or enter a new diagnosis.
The second part also uses free-text typing but this part is aimed at providing advice and recommending treatment. There will be no drop-down list and no prompting during this section. Please enter each question or piece of advice separately to ensure the system can capture all of the information.
Once you are ready to end the scenario please click the 'End Scenario' button and this will take you to your feedback.
You can see a demonstration of how to use the technology by clicking the 'Watch example video' button below. It may be useful for you to have the BNFC and any books or resources you have regarding childhood conditions ready to help provide information during the consultation.
