The consultation is the bedrock of all medical practice. Doctor-patient communication is a key ingredient to establishing a patient’s diagnosis and successfully managing the patient’s problem.. Within the consultation, doctors can employ sophisticated consultation skills to facilitate the patient’s storytelling, interpret the information gathered and assist the patient’s understanding .Unfortunately, when these skills are not used successfully; the results are patient dissatisfaction leading to complaints and worse; errors in diagnosis and treatment, jeopardizing safety. The consultation is at the heart of general practice. It is the central setting through which primary care is delivered and where the curriculum outcomes detailed in the statement being a General Practitioner are demonstrated. As a general practitioner, if you lack a clear understanding of what the consultation is, and how the successful consultation is achieved, you will fail your patients. In this era of medical practice, our patients became quiet smart to ask about various queries about health problems. But very few clinicians are able to satisfy their patients, even they good knowledge. Our aim is to improve your consultation skill.
