In this scenario, a hospital pharmacist is called to review a patient with known asthma who has become increasingly breathless on the ward.

The student must carry out a systematic A to E assessment, act on the problems they find, and present their findings and provisional diagnosis to the assessor.

Please ensure that this scenario and mark scheme align with the most up-to-date guidelines from the UK NICE and the BNF when using it for your OSCE assessment.

You will need a student pharmacist, an actor and an assessor for this scenario.
