SCA practice cases and GP scenarios
Rehearse complete GP consultations with clinician-written SCA cases, then use structured feedback from completed paid cases to guide your next attempt.
What makes a practice case worth your time
Use clinical topic guides for revision and interactive cases for rehearsal. A case tests how you ask, explain and respond to the patient’s concerns.
- Common presentations where consultation structure is easiest to lose
- Patients who hold something back until you ask the right question
- Uncertainty and comorbidity rather than clean, single-diagnosis vignettes
- Structured feedback after completed paid cases, so each consultation becomes information
The kinds of cases worth rotating through
Different contexts place different demands on consultation structure. A varied rotation helps you test whether the same behaviour transfers beyond a familiar presentation.
- Paediatrics, where the history comes from a worried parent and safety-netting must be specific.
- Mental health, where risk assessment has to sit inside a conversation rather than interrupt it.
- Prescribing, where the plan must be safe, explained, and genuinely acceptable to the patient.
- Multimorbidity, where the task is prioritisation rather than diagnosis.
- Ethics and uncertainty, where a defensible plan matters more than a confident one.
- Time-pressured presentations, where the temptation is to abandon the ending.
