'Medical technology is beneficial for well researched dangerous
diseases. However, most symptoms that people bring to their primary
care physician have no single clearly identifiable cause:
investigations and drugs do more harm than good - and also waste
resources - ' - Wilfrid Treasure Diagnosis and Risk Management in
Primary Care teaches that adopting an evidence-based approach to
primary care improves patient care and treatment outcomes. It
demonstrates that brief clinical assessments, repeated if
necessary, allow effective diagnosis while avoiding the costs and
complications associated with more advanced testing. Adopting a
fresh approach, this book sets consultation skills alongside
evidence-based information by both itemising the specific
techniques and facts that are needed in the consulting room, and
providing detailed information on odds and likelihood ratios to
quantify risk and deal with uncertainty. This book provides food
for thought, and helps doctors develop communication skills that
support their personal styles of consulting, encouraging a more
traditional, intuitive treatment. It provides a map of the
consultation and a compass to navigate through symptoms, signs and
evidence - listening to their patients with one ear and, with the
other, to the reflective inner voice of reason. General
Practitioner Specialist Trainees and their teachers will find much
of interest, as will established General Practitioners with an
interest in maintaining traditional models of care. Undergraduate
medical students and candidates for the MRCGP will find this an
ideal reader for the clinical skills assessment. 'What a breath of
fresh air to find an author capable of putting the patient back at
the centre of the consultation and who is able to entertain at the
same time as he informs and to stimulate critical reflection while
nudging us in the direction of a rigorous approach to diagnosis,
and the assessment and communication of risk.' From the foreword by
Roger Jones
Yvonne Carter is a mother of five ranging in ages from 18 to 36
years old. She has two sons, Vaughn and Sean Jones and three
daughters, Alicia, Joy and Yvonne Carter. She began writing and
creating greeting cards for her children and eventually included
family, friends and church family etc. She found true purpose when
she came to know Jesus Christ and accepted Him into her life. Her
heart's desire is to show the love of Christ to others that they,
too, may know, love, worship and obey Him. Along with her business
partner, Gwendolyn Cary, she begun a Christian Greeting Card
Business called "Refreshing the Spirit Ministries." Some of
Yvonne's poetry God birthed out of frustrations, challenges or
struggles in her life. Some came forth out of joyful experiences,
simply awakening to a new day or just questioning something she
would see or hear. God would sometimes just give her a word to
minister to another in need of edifying. She sees a central theme
of "love" in her writings. She is growing in her love for the LORD
and prays that each reader would as well. It is all to the Glory of
God
The field of medical education and training has undergone dramatic
changes within the past few years, and continues to evolve.
Modernising Medical Careers, changes in the statutory role of the
Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board, and the Good
Doctors, Safer Patients report from Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical
Officer, are just some of the factors affecting the way doctors are
now learning. In this book, Yvonne Carter and Neil Jackson,
experienced medical educators of both undergraduates and
postgraduates who have demonstrated a long standing commitment to
multi-professional education and training, bring together a
prestigious team of contributors with a wide variety of experience
across diverse academic, service and lay backgrounds, to provide a
comprehensive, up to date review of medical education and training.
With the demands on young doctors increasing, along with higher
patient expectations, the need for ongoing education and training
within the medical profession has never been higher. This book
offers theoretical and practical guidance for those planning,
delivering, and receiving education and training in ever-changing
healthcare environments. Themes covered include assessment,
professionalism and medical regulation, educational standards,
patients' expectations, Continuing Professional Development,
leadership and management, the European Working Time Directive,
Fitness to Practice, interprofessional learning, the development of
the NHS workforce, equality and diversity, and ethical and legal
issues. Medical education needs to be a lifelong process, and this
book integrates both undergraduate and postgraduate issues
throughout, to encourage continued learning.
This book will help ensure that future generations of doctors are
trained to meet the changing needs of our population.
