Bookings are now being taken This exciting and stimulating course will change the way you practice. Based on work in small, safe groups, this three-day event looks at the processes of communication which occur when a patient meets a doctor in general practice. Analysis of videotaped consultations is an important part of the course and actors simulating patients are used for one of the sessions. The Consultation Course is particularly valuable when participants come early in the training year .
Forward planning is recommended as places are limited and the course is always over-subscribed.
Participants must have done some video work with their trainer before attending the course. Founded in medieval times, the College is one of the oldest and smallest in Oxford. It has a beautiful library and the chapel has an early example of pre-Raphaelite stained glass. Oxford offers culture, bookshops galore and punting, at least some of which can usually be sampled during the three-day stay. The cost for registrars outside the region is 300.
