How to approach a obstetrics & gynaecology station
Take a sensitive, structured history including a menstrual, obstetric and sexual history where relevant, and always check the date of the last menstrual period in a woman of reproductive age. Present options neutrally and confirm understanding before agreeing a plan.
The underlying structure is the same as any PLAB 2 station: greet and confirm identity, explore the patient's ideas, concerns and expectations early, take a focused history, screen for the red flags below, explain your thinking in plain English, and agree a shared plan with clear safety-netting. See the free PLAB 2 preparation guide for the full study plan.

Examiners reward candidates who actively screen for what must not be missed. In obstetrics & gynaecology stations, the key red flags include:
- Pregnancy until excluded in any woman of reproductive age
- Pain with bleeding and shoulder-tip pain (ectopic pregnancy)
- Pre-eclampsia: severe headache, visual disturbance, epigastric pain
