The rationale for management of the chief complaint and the evolution of treatment modalities for that chief complaint
This research will be individually presented as an essay of approximately 2200 words and must include at least 20 creditable references. Your individual essay will be submitted electronically at the same time as your copy of the PowerPoint your pair has created
You are asked to provide a rationale for the management the CPG is providing for the specific CC. To do this you may wish to provide a brief précis of the pathophysiology of the CC and the metabolic derangement the CC is causing. This will allow you to analyse each element of the CPG and explain how that therapy or intervention is helping to manage the CC.

  • The second element requires you to research how the treatment modalities have evolved. Depending on how long the CC of your CPG has been recognised, the history of treatment for the CC may start in pre-history with superstitious (or certainly pre-scientific) therapies or interventions, and see how things have developed via experimentation and observation throughout time.
    Where possible try and find some data to see how effective earlier measures have been. A useful start point for your particular assigned CPG may be comparing old and new versions of a set of CPG’s.
    As each of your research is contributing to the final presentation you are strongly urged to meet with your assignment partner and decide a date that both of you will cease researching and begin collaborative creation of your final presentation. Throughout the semester you are strongly recommended to maintain regular contact with your assignment partner.
