THE FOUNDATION DOCTOR · WARD SCENARIOS

The ward work nobody rehearses.

Twenty branching scenarios on handover, referral, capacity, consent, difficult conversations, discharge, errors, safeguarding and death certification. One decision at a time, with feedback after each choice.

No doses appear on this page. For any prescribing, use the BNF, your trust's guidance and senior advice.

Learning tool only. Your trust's policies and your seniors come first. Not a clinical decision tool.
Each scenario cites the UK sources it was written against (checked Oct 2026). Where your trust's policy differs, follow your trust. Choices are marked best, acceptable or unsafe; real wards often allow more than one reasonable path.
