This unique book draws upon a collection of essays and personal
reflections by Dr Peter Tate, covering at least half a century of
his experience of trying to understand, define and improve
communication between doctors and patients. Adopting a light,
conversational and often humorous tone, the book covers a broad
range of situations encountered during the lead author's career as
a general practitioner, his seminal research into understanding
doctor-patient communication, and his subsequent role in both
teaching and developing the internationally-recognised Royal
College of General Practice's membership video examination. This
book demonstrates that clinical experiences, both professional and
personal, are fundamental to our perception of what is important
and what matters most in medicine. Key features: Unique and
personal account of the development of this vital but often
overlooked aspect of medicine Engaging and light-hearted, yet
academically rigorous Draws on experiences gathered during clinical
practice, research and teaching From the authors of the popular The
Doctor's Communication Handbook, now in its eighth edition In
reading Bedside Matters doctors, and particularly general
practitioners, will not only learn from the author's experiences,
but will be encouraged to reflect on their own clinical and
personal experiences, and to use these to better understand and
improve their own communication techniques. The author: Peter Tate
