Assessment Half Day (AHD) as part of the DFSRH

This assessment is a mandatory part of the Diploma.

Solent sexual health service aims to run 2-3 in person AHD’s per year.

The AHD is designed to assess the DFSRH candidates’ clinical knowledge and its application through both written and clinical assessments. The AHD consists of 2 Parts detailed below.

We recommend that the AHD is undertaken towards the end of a candidate’s journey when they have completed a majority, if not all of the learning and other assessments.

 

Part 1 – Written paper, 60 minutes

This written paper consists of 6 tasks, based on topics taken from the curriculum. Tasks will include labelling diagrams, interpreting data, short answer, multiple choice and single best answer questions etc.

Each of the 6 sections is marked out of 10 marks (60 in total).

Part 2 – Clinical stations, 60 minutes

This will comprise of 4 clinical stations, each taking 15 minutes, including reading time:

  • 1 role play station
  • 2 viva stations
  • 1 viva/teach station

 

Each station will be marked out of 15 marks (60 in total).

Both parts create 120 marks.

AHD cases and assessments will be changed quarterly.
