Focus: How to gather the right information to build an accurate picture of your patient and their concerns.
This day is all about data gathering. We’ll explore how to balance the biomedical story with the patient’s ideas, concerns, expectations (ICE), priorities, and wider context. By the end of the day, you’ll be confident in drawing out the information that really matters for safe, efficient, and patient-centred consultations.
You’ll learn how to:
Structure your data gathering for efficiency and clarity.
Elicit and respond to patient ICE & IMP without derailing the consultation.
Spot hidden cues and agendas.
Weave clinical facts, psychosocial context, and patient priorities into a clear working picture.
Avoid common pitfalls (over- or under-gathering).
Best for: Trainees who want to sharpen their consultation foundations and ensure nothing important is missed.
