Effective Consulting - the Five Key Tasks

The patient consultation is at the heart of primary care but effective consulting is probably the most difficult skill to master.

Here we present a series of patient-doctor scenarios using professional actors to demonstrate the five key tasks that need to be tackled to achieve an effective consultation.

Communication expert Dr Peter Tate examines the successes and failures of each consultation, providing learning points and topics for further discussion. This second edition of the DVD now includes a 16-page booklet in which Dr Tate takes a more in-depth look at the issues raised in the video consultations.

The Effective Consulting series is ideal for GPs at any stage of their careers seeking to enhance their consulting skills for raining, CPD or revalidation purposes.

The format is also highly suitable for group learning.
