Station brief
Format. Communication station, approximately 7–10 minutes after reading. You are a psychiatry consultant / educational supervisor meeting a registrar for mid-term feedback. [1][5]
Candidate instructions. Your registrar is hardworking and well liked. Observed assessment shows a disorganised MSE; risk documentation after self-harm cases has been incomplete. They are rostered for independent overnight emergency cover tomorrow. Give feedback that is specific and non-humiliating, explore their reaction, agree a learning plan, and address patient safety regarding overnight cover. Do not collude with “everyone gets a pass,” and do not invent legal or college form section numbers. [1][2][4]
