PLAB 2 Ethics Stations: A Practical Approach To Professional Dilemmas

Why this matters

Ethics stations become easier when you slow the problem down into capacity, consent, confidentiality, escalation, and documentation. Examiners want safe reasoning you can communicate clearly.

What to focus on

• Identify the main professional principle before offering advice.
• Explain why you are escalating or preserving confidentiality in plain language.
• Show that patient safety and documentation stay in view throughout the conversation.
