This course is run in small groups, with an emphasis on practicing consultations with trained role players to give you a feel for the real exam. It will cover the necessary theory and background to help you pass the CSA. The course covers:

* Mark scheme for the CSA in depth - how to hit all the criteria + common reasons for failing a case
* Communication and consultation skills - theory and practical
* Essential examinations and equipment - which examinations you need to focus on, and the equipment you need to be familiar with
* Breaking bad news - a structured approach
* Dealing with difficult patients, ethical dilemmas and medicolegal issues

There will be several practice sessions where you will be able to experience consultations with professionally trained medical role players, as well as the chance to get individual feedback. Practice makes perfect! Each candidate will have at least 3 mock CSA stations with individual feedback.

Feedback from our previous courses

"Good course for practice, cases were very informative"

"I am glad to say that I passed all 12 stations, and I think that that was greatly helped by attending your course. I was very impressed with the day and have already recommended it to my colleauges."

"Just had my results of the CSA and passed 11/12 cases first time round! I also passed my AKT last year with 85%. I attended the E-Medica courses for preparation of both of these exams and found the courses extremely helpful and very well presented. I will definitely recommend your courses to everyone! After your courses I felt that I knew exactly what to expect in the exams and the little hints and tips and follow-up e-mails were also very helpful and thoughtful. Practicing with the actors during the CSA course prepared me very well for the 'the real thing'."

"I liked the practice sessions - lots of opportunity to practice"

"Thank you for the course cases which helped me pass my CSA exam in Feb 08. Your actors are brilliant and their feedback helped me as well."

"Small number of candidates, lots of practice cases was fantastic. Feedback was very helpful, I'd recommend this course to friends"

"The practice consultations (and actors) were excellent."

"Just to let you know that I passed the CSA. Could you please pass on my gratitute to everybody involved with the course - I'm sure it had a large part to play in my ultimate success. I have recommended it to my colleagues on the VTS who have enquired as to the best way to prepare for the exam."

"Thanks for all your help... exam went smoothly and passed all the stations first time round."
