 Re: Failing Pre-reg year
[quote=the old merlin;7893]Two points PoP-RS
Traditionally, we were supposed not to be loud and jolly; a textbook just about still in use in my student days included something to the effect that laughter was not appropriate in a pharmacy. It was, though, common in the one where I did my pre-reg!
And sometimes you have to "pull your punches"; find a way of telling a patient that they're a fool without actually using the word. (For example).
And, although a middle-class southerner, I did my pre-reg in the north, in Coronation Street country, where I was regarded as a bit of a curiosity.

Loud and jolly should not be a problem as long as the person is tactful and empathic.
