Lead questions you need to answer:

What type of behavioural intervention would you recommend your patient (strongest evidence) to generate change in targeted (modifiable) health behaviour (e.g., diet, stress, smoking) and population (e.g., adult lung cancer patients). Contrast and compare empirical evidence to support your choice of intervention(s) for your population group

Justify why this is an appropriate intervention for your population group with reference to the different dimensions of the bio-psycho-social model.

Evaluate potential strengths and weaknesses in the plan, e.g. in terms of patient adherence to recommendations. Explain how your treatment plan could serve as an example of ‘Evidence- Based Medicine’.

How does the case relate to the GMC Outcomes for Graduates? Why is communication with the patient important in this case? How will your communication between Primary and Secondary care impact on the ongoing care for this patient?

Reflective case study

Finish summary of case (make it up) and write a short reflective commentary on the case thinking about the following questions.

What have you learnt from the case? What else have you learnt about other than the basic medical case – how does the case relate to the GMC Outcomes for Graduates? Why is communication with the patient important in this case? How will your communication between Primary and Secondary care impact on the ongoing care for this patient? So what personal learning needs have you identified from this case?

Imagine you have responsibility for a regional population of 500,000 people in which there is a significant health burden from malnutrition. How could this be reduced?

Describe how you would address undernutrition using a vertical approach and address overnutrition using a horizontal approach. In your answer describe the features that characterize a vertical approach and a horizontal approach.

Analyse the evidence that supports the likely effectiveness of your chosen approaches and justify your choice of these two approaches.
