About the Book

The Modern Guide to GP Consulting: Six S for Success is a straightforward guide for all healthcare professionals wanting to improve the way they communicate with their patients. It provides a highly practical framework to improve consultations, with a focus on the status, story, summarising, sharing, securing and sanity model. Adopting an open, non-prescriptive approach, these ideologies are easily integrated into different working styles, and patient narratives illuminate key concepts and bring the topic to life. The basic fundamental principles can be applied in daily practice and Clinical Skills Assessment, enhancing the balance between the analytical and the intuitive when consulting with patients. 'The ability to listen, think and respond sensitively and effectively are essential skills for anyone to have, whatever his or her business. In the medical profession, it is vital that these abilities are active at all times. To be attuned to the needs, desires and concerns of others plays a huge role in managing the well-being of patients, their relatives and their friends. It is crucial these skills are always at the forefront of the medic's toolkit. It is all too easy to treat the physical ailments and ignore the psychological issues that may also be an integral part of the problems themselves.' From the Preface 'Six S for Success provides a fresh, sound and simple framework to improve the way we communicate with our patients ...This book is clear and easy to follow in language that all of us understand. It is an invaluable source of refreshment, inspiration, education and refl ection. I recommend it to all clinicians.' Professor Abdol Tavabie, in his Foreword 'Insight and self-awareness matter most. This book is a goldmine of robust good sense for doctors.' Sir Edward Clay, in his Foreword
