Week 6 Foundation Pharmacist Exam Drop

The Weekly Drop — Week 6 Mixed Clinical IV: Cardiovascular, CNS, Endocrine, Infection & High-Risk Medicines
 
Week 6 of The Weekly Drop is here — and this one zooms in on the clinical areas that carry the most weight on exam day. Cardiovascular, central nervous system, endocrine, and infection make up the bulk of the GPhC framework, and this week's questions are designed to test exactly the kinds of decisions you'll be expected to make as a day-1 pharmacist.
Expect scenarios on dual antiplatelet duration after PCI, resistant hypertension at step 4, rate control in AF with comorbidities, statin intolerance and the MHRA threshold, migraine prophylaxis and triptan contraindications, anticholinergic burden in dementia, lithium toxicity, type 1 diabetes sick day rules, hypoglycaemia management, sepsis recognition and timing, vancomycin TDM in MRSA bacteraemia, and topical glaucoma drops in asthma. The EMQ tests high-risk medicine identification across mixed clinical scenarios.
