Acute and Chronic 2

Dear Students

Welcome to the new Acute and Chronic Care 2 webpage.

ACC2 2009 – Notes for students re tutorials

As part of your preparation for your GP placement, you will be asked to prepare and deliver a short group presentation relating to the management of a chronic disease. There will be a selection of topics available, allowing some element of choice as to the area to be worked on. Each Wednesday tutorial will include 2-3 presentations about each of 2 topics, for a total of 4-6 presentations. Because the overall tutorial group will consist of 10-12 students, you will therefore divide up into groups of 2 or 3 students.

The presentation should be timed to last for 15-20 minutes, including opportunity for questions and discussion by the whole tutorial group. You are encouraged to be as creative and engaging as possible in your presentation, and will have access to a laptop with data projector and a whiteboard. Your grade for the GP component of ACC2 is derived from your GP preceptor’s assessment of your placement performance
AND your tutorial performance. The major component of your tutorial performance will be the Wednesday presentation. You will be allocated time to prepare your presentation on the Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.

The typical timetable for the Wednesday will be as follows:

1400 – 1500 Module A
• 2-3 group presentations by students, each of 15-20’
• Case discussion for approximately 20’

1500 – 1515 Break

1515 – 1615 Module B
• 2-3 group presentations by students, each of 15-20’
• Case discussion for approximately 20’

1615 Wrap-up & evaluation

In addition to being helpful for both GP and hospital placements, the issues to be covered have also been chosen because they relate to areas that have tended to feature prominently in the fifth year examinations, and so they should be valuable to you at a number of levels.

You are free to use whatever resources you think are most appropriate in order to prepare your presentation. Suggested sources include the National Prescribing Service www.nps.org.au , Australian Family Physician www.racgp.org.au/afp , and the UK’s National Institute for Clinical Excellence www.nice.org.uk . If there are problems in accessing relevant material, feel free to email me via simon.vanlint@adelaide.edu.au and I may be able to point you in the right direction. These presentations will be as interesting and useful as you make them…..
