Prompt
Station A is a 16-year-old referred with an ultrasound report of polycystic ovaries and a GP letter stating PCOS. Station B is private assessment with low mood disclosure requiring integrated mental health and PCOS management planning.

Station objectives

  1. Reason through adolescent PCOS diagnosis using Rotterdam criteria with developmental modification. [4] [2]
  2. Explain why ultrasound alone does not establish the diagnosis in adolescents. [2] [1]
  3. Deliver lifestyle-first counselling without weight-centric messaging that risks disordered eating. [5]
  4. Integrate mental health screening into the PCOS management plan. [6]
  5. Co-create a symptom-directed, follow-up-aware plan with transition planning. [3] [1]
