Time management: One-Problem-Only in Difficult Consultations

The Clinician's Survival Guide

Send us a Text Message.

The patient has multiple issues, you ask them to rebook to discuss those you don't have time for, and they... they resist. What do you do?
If the previous episode of The Clinician's Survival Guide was about the importance of sticking to one problem per consultation, this episode is about what to do if the patient insists otherwise.
The episode is about the consultation and provides:

• Tips on how YOU should deal with those difficult situations where patient wants everything discussed in one appointment
• The importance of YOU setting the right example, and implications for others when you don't
• Pointers to what organisations can do differently.

By achieving the aims of these episodes you will be more efficient, feel happier about your time management and patient care and have a more fulfilling experience as a clinician.
