Overview
This pair of interactive, case-based CPD days is designed to help primary care clinicians maximise their approach to medical cases using available resources and budgets. These two complementary courses will progressively develop a clear, problem-focused strategy for investigating and managing medicine cases within primary care, aiming to achieve more satisfying outcomes – especially for cases where referral may not be an option.
The course will feature real cases from primary care practices that were either referred or where advice was sought, using these examples to explore ways in which referrals might have been avoided.
We will cover in a workshop and case-based format:
- How should I approach medicine cases to get more out of them.
- What options are reasonable to choose when I have limited resources.
- Maximising the utility of each diagnostic test chosen.
- Working with the problem-based approach to improve confidence in decision-making
- Develop a solid understanding of the problem-based approach to medicine
- Be confident in generating working differentials lists to improve confidence in case progression.
- Understand how to make the appropriate choices in test selection
- How to audit case progression and how to amend treatment plans with limited resources available.
