3 revision pages for Patient-Centred Care, each with the key facts, a memory aid where one helps, and the exam traps.

  1. Frequent falls and the need for social and care support

    A structured history of a fall looks at the events before, during and after it, and the lead-up is the best clue to the cause.

  3. The Assessment Framework Triangle: the three domains
