Hot Topics

Designed to be delivered in 45-75minutes to ST1-3 trainees, most often centred around current or evolving areas of GP Practice.

A teaching resource exploring diagnosis, new treatment developments, safety, uncertainty and the GP role.

Vaccination Update:

A teaching resource for discussing current vaccination changes and their practical implications in primary care.

Perinatal Mental Health:

A trainee-facing quick guide that can also be used by educators to frame discussion about health, inequality and general practice.

Communication Skills

Collections of consultation cases designed to support communication skills development across GP training. Many can be adapted for different stages of training, and the more challenging cases are suitable for SCA preparation.

Cases include feedback guidance across the three RCGP SCA domains, alongside management considerations for the clinical issue presented and links to relevant UK guidance or evidence.

Challenging Consultation Dynamics

Four times when the patient’s interpersonal style creates challenges within the consultation. These cases help trainees practise staying clinically clear, relationally steady and collaborative when faced with anger, helplessness, directive expertise or repeated “yes, but” responses.

Complex Consultations: Risk, Understanding and Uncertainty

Four communication skills cases exploring consultations where the GP needs to recognise the deeper task: hidden concern, safeguarding risk, adapted understanding or persistent symptoms without a clear diagnosis.
