THE CASE
Dr P works in a busy inner-city practice. One day a cancer patient bemoans the fact that she “never sees the same doctor twice” at the hospital, and asks “can I see you again doctor, you have been so helpful and understanding today?” Like many practices Dr P’s workplace uses a triage system, ensuring rapid on the day access for many patients but with poor continuity of care. She is finding it frustrating not to be able to see her own patients over time and wants to put the case to the partners that they need to reorganise their systems a bit to allow better continuity of care. What should she say to her colleagues about this issue?

Many of their patients are living in poverty, with a lot of patients having Long Term Conditions. They feel under pressure from health service management to push lifestyle advice on patients and tell them to stop smoking, eat more healthily, take regular exercise and cut down on alcohol. They both feel they have enough to do in their consultations without all this to do as well. Furthermore, many patients get irritated and complain about being “nagged” to change their habits when they have come to the doctor to talk about the problems they see as most important. “Why is EVERYTHING always blamed on me being overweight?” complains one patient, attending in her third pregnancy, I had two lovely normal babies before!” Show Notes Lifestyle medicine: a cultural shift in medicine that can drive integration of care British Society of Lifestyle Medicine BSLM Lifestyle Screening Tool questionnaire GP EVIDENCE Primary Care Validation of a Single-Question Alcohol Screening Test The key trials using a lifestyle medicine approach Lean, Michael EJ et al.Primary care-led weight management for remission of type 2 diabetes (DiRECT): an open-label, cluster-randomised trial, The Lancet, Volume 391, Issue 10120, 541 – 551 Ornish D et al, Can Lifestyle Changes reverse coronary Heart disease?

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedShow notes THE CASE M is a hard-working clinician in primary care aiming for high professional standards; they passed all their exams at medical school and post grad training, and continue to engage in regular CPD. To their surprise, medicine in practice seems to get more and more difficult as time goes on. Many patients have vague symptoms, unlike any textbooks, the guidelines are complex and hard to remember, they hear a lot about complaints or being sued and some grumpy unsatisfied patients make M wonder what they are doing wrong. Now M gets anxious they may have missed something, going over their cases in their mind, rechecking their case notes, looking for errors. They find it hard to stop worrying about complaints or being sued; why did no one tell them that getting the right answers was so difficult? In this episode, Avril and James invite a couple of younger GPs, Sarah MacDermott and Joseph Rylands, to talk about what their concerns are around litigation. We go over the numbers around litigation and we discuss approaches as to how to reduce that risk, but also how to deal with what you should do if get a complaint. At the end we discuss many tips and suggestions around litigation that may help you, at least a little bit, be a more contented clinician.…
