Their hospital based equivalent is the mini CEX. The starting point for discussion is either a video recorded consultation or a consultation directly observed by your trainer eg in a joint surgery. In either case the patient must give consent in accordance with the guidelines for consenting patients.<br>Consultations should be selected across a range of patient contexts and over the entire period of training spent in general practice and should include at least one case from each of the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Children (a child aged 10 or under)<\/li><li>Older adults (an adult aged more than 75 years old)<\/li><li>Mental health<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is likely that more evidence will be generated from consultations with greater complexity . Your trainer will then use the COT framework to discuss your performance with you and record their observations in your eportfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/windsor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2021\/09\/cot-mapping-sheet-1.doc\">COT mapping sheet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/reading\">Information courtesy of Reading VTS<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"nhsuk-card__description\">COTS are only undertaken in general practice placements- whether this be in ST1,2 or 3.
