South West PCA Educational Session: Managing Risk and Uncertainty in Primary Care

The Primary Care Academy (South West) would like to invite you to attend “Managing Risk and Uncertainty in Primary Care” educational session which will be held on:

Wednesday 27^th November 2024

0930-1230

Patients are getting more and more complicated, and it seems things are rarely straightforward these days. This 3-hour interactive workshop will explore some of the strategies we can use as clinicians to help create certainty out of an increasingly complex world!

* Do you ever feel overwhelmed when things are not clear cut with patients?

* Do you worry about over or under investigating patients – and how do you know if you got it right?

* Do you worry that blood results can be difficult to interpret?

* And does it feel like more patients are being medicalised and given labels / medicines than ever before?

If you answered YES to any of the above, then this workshop will help you feel more comfortable with managing uncertainty and will make links to overdiagnosis and how we as clinicians can gauge how to pitch it at the right level and reduce that fear of being criticised for over or under treating someone.

We would like to encourage participants to be in a quiet environment where they can engage, interact and talk to others with their camera on.

Please note the booking form will close when capacity has been reached.

Please be aware there will be a £35.00 charge for non-attendance without prior notification.
