The MRCPCH (Membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health) is a postgraduate qualification for doctors who intend to specialize in pediatrics in the United Kingdom. The clinical communication station is one of the components of the MRCPCH Clinical Examination. This station assesses a candidate's ability to effectively communicate with children, parents, and other healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.

In the clinical communication station, candidates are typically presented with a clinical scenario involving a child and their parent or guardian. The candidate is expected to demonstrate their communication skills by taking a history from the parent or guardian, conducting a relevant examination of the child (with the help of an actor playing the child), and providing clear and empathetic explanations to the parent or guardian.

The station assesses various aspects of communication, including:

Gathering relevant information from the parent or guardian.
Building rapport and showing empathy toward the child and their family.
Explaining medical information in a clear and understandable manner.
Demonstrating appropriate non-verbal communication skills.
Respecting the child's autonomy and consent when appropriate.
Candidates are evaluated on their ability to handle the clinical encounter effectively, while also considering the emotional and psychological aspects of the child and their family. Assessors look for communication skills that are patient-centered, compassionate, and professionally appropriate.

Preparation for the MRCPCH Clinical Examination, including the clinical communication station, typically involves practicing with scenarios and actors, as well as reviewing relevant clinical guidelines and communication techniques. Candidates may also receive feedback to help improve their communication skills.
