However, specific training in diagnostic reasoning has yet to be systematically integrated into the medical curricula across the UK. The development of appropriate training requires an understanding of the diagnostic process from the learners' perspective. The aim of this four-phase, mixed method study was to explore the diagnostic reasoning skills of senior medical students and Foundation doctors within the context of primary care, in order to enhance undergraduate training towards the point of graduation. Phase 1, the main study, involved the filming of twelve 4th year medical students across 21 simulated primary care consultations. The students subsequently reviewed their filmed consultations and through semi-structured interviews with the researcher, reflected upon their diagnostic reasoning. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the interview transcripts. Phase 2 followed the same cohort of medical students into real primary care settings in their final year. Two participants were filmed across four consultations followed by video-stimulated, reflective interviews, and this was again analysed using the IPA method. Phase 3 explored the diagnostic reasoning of qualified doctors in their foundation training. Two participants were filmed across six consultations using the same method and analysis as before.

Approach: A bounded literature review of the latest developments in expert knowledge elicitation was undertaken to determine the ’art-of-the-possible’ in respects to uncovering an expert’s cognitive judgements in complex and dynamic environments. Candidate methodologies were systematically and critically reviewed in order to identify the most promising methodologies for uncovering expert situational awareness and metacognitive evaluations in pursuit of actionable threat mitigation strategies in high-risk contexts. Research outputs are synthesized into an interview protocol for eliciting and understanding the in...
