Keeping Your GP Consultations
Under 10 Minutes
- Just let me finish this first -----
patient needs to hold the question and this shuts them up." I'll just do this first".
We need to do this first- then we can look at the rest.
Dirty Trick:Say that all again. I missed it.
& maybe - ask a question:
How do you spell your name?, What is DOB?, and keep working, ignoring the answers.
- I need a whole appointment to do one of those certificates.
- So today we are doing---- (Reflect). If you fail to do this,
you give patient command of the consultation agenda.
- That’s all I can do today.
That’s all we’re doing today.
- We’ve done this ----- thanks/user-friendly comment to end.
- Med Cert: Don't offer: Patient should hold this uppermost in their minds :
can't think/talk about anything else.
- Never ask if there is anything else that needs to be done.
