General Practice Today explores the GP consultation in the context
of external 'stressors' and 'helpers' that doctors use to make best
clinical decisions. Over the last 30 years there has been a move
towards mandatory training on legal aspects, risk scores and
guidance. Additionally, with widespread access to IT there has been
a huge growth in the information doctors need to know and manage.
Yet today's GP has never been more time-poor or under so much
pressure. All these outside considerations can seem challenging and
remote for the doctor sat with their patient; yet in today's
reality they have never been more important. This book offers
insight into the practical impact and importance of these external
factors. It offers advice on everything from law, technology and
time management to mental health issues, ethics, religion and
culture, exploring how to determine which issues are relevant to
each individual consultation. Packing each chapter with realistic
examples, author Jane Wilcock draws on her own extensive experience
to help GPs make considered, contextual decisions that enhance the
health and well-being of their patients. This book is essential
reading for any General Practitioner, allied health care
practitioner or trainee preparing to practice in our complex modern
world.
