Let’s Talk About…
Short, practical resources designed to support GP trainees with common clinical and professional conversations in general practice.
Each resource focuses on how to approach challenging topics — including risk, uncertainty, shared decision-making and follow-up — using clear, proportionate explanations grounded in everyday GP practice.
The series is designed for quick reference, independent learning, and use alongside supervision or exam preparation, without replacing clinical judgement or formal guidance.
Let’s Talk About… Cholesterol
This resource supports GP trainees to navigate cholesterol conversations in general practice with clarity, proportion, and confidence.
It focuses on how to explain cardiovascular risk, discuss lifestyle and medication options, and reach shared decisions with patients, rather than on guideline thresholds or biochemical detail. Emphasis is placed on clear risk communication, managing uncertainty, and safe follow-up — reflecting the level of judgement expected in independent practice.
The slide deck can be used for self-directed learning or discussion in supervision. A one-page quick reference is provided as a downloadable aide-memoire for use in clinics.
