Event Description:
A significant proportion of patients who present to doctors (in primary and secondary care) and nurses (in all settings) will turn out to have symptoms that are medically inexplicable. Most doctors and nurses have regular patients who leave them feeling “overwhelmed”. The expression “heartsink” has been applied to them.
Such patients present frustrations and challenges for all clinicians. We now have clear evidence that can guide more effective use of time and lead to better outcomes.
In our seminar we compare participants’ experiences of recognising and managing such patients. We introduce a number of findings from the considerable research related to this group of patients – which is shared, with facilitated group discussion. We then move on to a consideration of the process of re-attribution, which has good evidence of effectiveness in the management of patients – beneficial for patient and clinician alike.

Event Description:
Calgary Cambridge is the most comprehensive learning framework available - combining evidence of skills that matter, learning using best evidenced teaching methods.
Several Speciality Training Committees have mandated our skills based training for SpRs. Most college exams now test this competence. Revalidation against the principles of “Good Medical Practice” is expected to require evidence of skill development in this domain.
The course is aimed at front line clinicians (doctors, nurses, allied clinical professionals). It will also be valuable to those who have to teach or advise re the clinical consultation (e.g. GP trainers, appraisers, Hospital educators, Nurse educators etc.). We:-
-Build consultation skills of participants using the Calgary Cambridge skills framework.
-Develop an individual learning agenda for each individual, focusing on developing a small number of skills of relevance to their own practice
-Lead participants to working mastery of the Calgary Cambridge framework and be able to use it after the course to continue self-improvement
-(For educators) Achieve sufficient mastery of the teaching framework for participants to be able to use it accurately in their own teaching or educational roles
-Can address individual learning needs (whether identified via RITA or other)
Facilitators are all clinicians. They are selected for being experienced and expert facilitators of skills based training for clinical consultations who have further training through EPI.
