We teach evidence-based examination skills and management algorithms that have wide relevance and that will enable clinicians (GPs, GP Registrars, AiTs, Primary Care Nurses) to develop their own approach.
 
We have developed a series of courses to help meet the requirements of statement 15. 9 in the nMRCGP syllabus. Using this approach of developing key knowledge along with practice and confidence enables clinicians from all professional backgrounds to become much more effective.  
 
Our aim is to enable you within a time limited consultation
Take a concise and relevant history.
Conduct a quick and slick examination.
Make an appropriate diagnosis and/or treatment plan.
Then:
Deliver appropriate primary care management within one (or over a series of) 10 minute consultation(s).
AND/OR
Make a timely onward referral to other agencies.
Note that some conditions need immediate onward referral and some have a stepped treatment approach that starts in primary care and is only escalated if unresolved.
