RCPsych Guidelines on PMP Standardisation
- The examination will last 30 minutes.
- Each candidate will be given three vignettes, each of which will
be discussed for 10 minutes.
- Not only will the vignette be read out to the candidates but they
will also be given a written copy of it.
- For each vignette, the examiners will have
three ‘probes’ which
they should use to promote further discussion.
- For the examiners there will also be a list of five areas which
will be relevant to the vignette, but will not necessarily
be all-inclusive.
Notes
Please be aware that these PMPs have been collected over
the last few years. Some have come from colleagues, others have been written
by myself. I have not simply copied them from books, however!
Since
I am not in a position to record the source of every single PMP, it is
possible that some of them come from sources who own the copyright. If this
is the
case, and you do not wish the PMP to appear on the site, please email
me and I will either remove the PMP or I will credit you appropriately.
