EFFECTIVE CONSULTING 2: INTERPERSONAL SKILLS FOR THE CSA
The second DVD in the popular Effective Consulting series brings more expert advice from Dr Peter Tate on the crucial area of interpersonal skills.
In these four educational modules, Dr Tate utilises his decades of work on the MRCGP exam to relate key consulting techniques to the needs of the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA).
The lessons learned should enhance any doctor’s communication skills, whilst also helping GP registrars to succeed in the CSA.
The DVD focuses on four simulated patients and how two young doctors deal with each challenging case, including identifying depression, breaking bad news, and tackling dilemmas involving other doctors as their patients.
Communication expert Dr Tate has written the scripts to reflect the realities of modern consulting. After presenting each consultation video he uses clips to review the successes and failures of the GPs, providing learning points and topics for further discussion.
The Effective Consulting series is ideal for GPs at any stage of their careers seeking to enhance their consulting skills for training, CPD or revalidation purposes. The format is also highly suitable for group learning.
