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.

Recenzijos

This book reflects the ever-changing landscape of general practice; it's a resource that can be used before, during and after a consultation to allow the busy clinician to prepare prior, or be directed to a more in-depth resource as required.Selina Walsh, Advanced Nurse Practitioner/Registered Midwife MSc, MA, BSc (hons) DPNS, Clinical ANP Manager, Silverdale Medical Practice

Practical advice is certainly forthcoming in most of the book, such as a handy list of links to the best sources of information and risk calculators that GPs would do well to have on their desktop. Id recommend reading this book sooner rather than later! Pearce Cusack, GPST1, Logan Practice, British Journal of General Practice , 2018
