Think in Pathways.
Not Lists.
MedNext Interactive Clinical Pathways walk you through the decision points a consultant makes. Follow the branches. Understand the reasoning. Build a clinical mind — not just a fact bank.
🫀 Chest Pain — Worked Pathway
A static preview of how MedNext pathways guide your clinical thinking from presentation to management.
All Clinical Pathways
Eight high-yield presentations. Fully interactive on MedNext. Built with consultant-level clinical reasoning.
Chest Pain — Cardiac vs Non-Cardiac
STEMI vs NSTEMI vs non-cardiac. Troponin kinetics, ECG interpretation, risk stratification, and management pathways.
Acute Dyspnoea — Respiratory Failure Differential
Type 1 vs Type 2 respiratory failure. APO vs PE vs pneumothorax vs exacerbation. ABG-guided branching.
Altered Consciousness — GCS Approach & Differentials
Metabolic, structural, and toxicological causes. GCS components, pupil assessment, and escalation decision nodes.
Acute Abdomen — Surgical vs Medical
Localisation, guarding, rigidity. Surgical emergencies vs medical mimics. Investigation sequence and referral thresholds.
Upper GI Bleed — Risk Stratification & Management
Rockall score, Blatchford score, PPI protocol, endoscopy timing, and massive haemorrhage protocol triggers.
Sepsis Protocol — Sepsis 6 & Escalation
SIRS vs sepsis vs septic shock. Sepsis 6 bundle. Lactate interpretation. ICU escalation criteria.
Febrile Child — Meningitis vs UTI vs Viral
Traffic light system, non-blanching rash, IAP feverish child guidance, LP decision, and empirical antibiotic choice.
Drug Overdose — Toxidrome Identification
Opioid, sympathomimetic, cholinergic, anticholinergic, and serotonin toxidromes. Antidote selection and monitoring.
Why Pathways Beat Memorisation
Clinical exams test reasoning, not recall. A pathway forces you to understand why each investigation is ordered and what its result changes. That is what marks the difference between a good candidate and a top score.
Each MedNext pathway is built around a real clinical scenario, validated against current NMC, ICMR, ESC, and WHO guidelines. You follow the branches, make decisions, and receive immediate feedback on your reasoning at each node.
