Professional dilemmas are the MSRA’s pressure cooker — where convenience, loyalty and institutional targets collide with GMC duties, safety, candour and integrity. This episode teaches the three universal moves that protect patients and your registration: uphold standards, offer a constructive alternative, and escalate with documentation. Using high-stakes scenarios involving unsafe shortcuts, documentation dishonesty, and conflicts of interest, we show you exactly how to act under pressure.0:00 Why ethical dilemmas define professionalism00:20 Pressure-cooker conflicts explained00:58 The foundational rule: integrity > convenience01:40 What the GMC is actually testing02:20 Safety vs team loyalty03:10 The five behaviours that always fail04:00 The three-move universal framework05:00 Scenario 1 — Consent vs institutional pressure06:00 Why shortcuts invalidate consent07:00 Three safe moves for pressure to “rush consent”08:00 Script: how to decline + offer alternative09:20 Scenario 2 — Documentation dishonesty10:00 Candour, audit trails and legal risk10:40 Addendum vs altering the original note11:40 Why retroactive edits destroy trust12:10 Escalating unsafe pressure13:00 Scenario 3 — High-value gifts & boundaries13:50 Conflict of interest explained14:20 Safe refusal + alternative + documentation15:20 Why perception matters as much as reality16:10 Universal tie-break rules17:10 Three high-yield takeaways18:10 Final reflection: courage under pressure• Professional dilemmas test values under pressure, not knowledge.• Integrity, transparency and escalation ALWAYS outrank convenience, blind loyalty or targets.• Unsafe shortcuts (e.g., rushing consent) = invalid care + legal risk.• Never falsify or soften notes — only dated factual addenda maintain governance.• High-value gifts create real or perceived conflicts of interest — decline, redirect, document.• Every safe action contains: safety → solution → escalation → documentation.Three-Move FrameworkUphold standards (decline unsafe request)Offer a constructive solution (safe alternative)Escalate if pressure continuesIntegrity Triggers — “SID”S – Safety threatenedI – Integrity challengedD – Documentation requested dishonestlyAddendum Rule — “DAT”D – DatedA – Addendum onlyT – Truthful, factual, neutral languageGifts Boundary Rule — “PAD”P – Politely declineA – Alternative (charity/feedback)D – Document tension/insistenceEthical dilemmas are not trick questions — they assess whether you protect safety, truth and fairness even when pressured.

This episode breaks down one of the most important MSRA SJT principles: safe consent requires equity, not equality. You’ll learn how to recognise communication barriers, arrange professional interpreters, meet Accessible Information Standard (AIS) duties, apply NICE shared-decision guidance, and avoid the tempting shortcuts that invalidate consent.

When pressure is high and resources are scarce, the MSRA SJT rewards one thing above all: objective, criteria-led allocation — not convenience, noise, or hierarchy. This episode breaks down how to prioritise safely using urgency, benefit, and risk of delay, while resisting VIP pressure, unsafe delays, and opaque decision-making. Learn the FAIRE mnemonic, the “balanced scales” visual cue, and the five high-yield traps that instantly tank scores.0:00 Why resource allocation is hard00:20 The last isolation-room scenario00:58 Convenience vs fairness01:22 One-sentence exam rule: prioritise by need + benefit02:40 Why first-come-first-served scores badly03:39 The three red flags (unsafe delay, VIP pressure, opacity)04:52 The 5-step high-scoring framework06:20 Step-by-step: Prioritise → Document → Communicate → Escalate → Address inequalities07:20 FAIRE mnemonic explained08:40 NHS Core20PLUS5 and equity duties09:40 Brand-Plus model (benefits, risks, alternatives, nothing + equity)11:00 Classic imaging allocation scenario (CT PE vs chronic back pain MRI)12:40 The two dominant SJT patterns13:40 High-frequency traps in the exam15:10 Model escalation phrase16:00 FAQ: clinically equivalent cases17:10 FAQ: when to escalate18:20 Rapid-fire X→Y safety drill19:40 Final three takeaways• Highest scoring approach = urgency + expected benefit + harm if delayed.• Fairness means addressing barriers, not treating everyone identically.• VIP pressure, loud families, or hierarchy must never override clinical criteria.• Keeping resources idle “just in case” causes certain harm and scores poorly.• Documentation + transparent communication is non-negotiable.• Early escalation when capacity becomes unsafe is a professional responsibility.FAIREF – Focus on need & benefitA – Address inequalitiesI – Inform & documentR – Raise/escalate earlyE – Establish review & safety nettingBalanced Scales Visual CuePicture scales weighted only by: urgency, benefit, risk of delay — never by noise, rank, or arrival order.Resource allocation questions test your ability to stay fair, transparent and safety-focused under intense pressure. Use clearly defined criteria, resist external influence, document your rationale, and escalate when capacity becomes unsafe. The FAIRE mnemonic and the balanced-scales mental model will guide you to the safest — and highest-scoring — answers.Links:• passthemsra.com – Complete MSRA revision, notes, mocks, flashcards• freemsra.com – Free podcasts, threads and rapid-learning guides• msra.io – Smart MSRA Qbank with analytics#MSRA #SJT #ResourceAllocation #PatientSafety #GMCGuidance #ClinicalPrioritisation #Fairness #UKDoctors #MedicalRevision #passthemsra #freemsra #msraio
