Specific Problem-solving Skills course for GPs
This session introduces the Specific Problem-solving Skills domain of the RCGP curriculum. During this session, the outcomes in this domain will be applied to a patient problem. This session was reviewed by Suchita Shah and last updated in June 2014.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe the ‘Specific Problem-solving Skills’ domain of the RCGP core curriculum, Being a GP, and the learning outcomes derived from this domain
- Apply these specific problem-solving skills to a case relevant to day-to-day patient care
- Explain how these specific problem-solving skills may have an impact on your work as a general practitioner
- Describe the ways in which problem-solving skills in general practice differ from those required in hospital practice
In order to offer patients effective and appropriate care, a GP must develop a number of specific skills for solving problems. These skills enable a GP to offer solutions that are effective and appropriate for the patient and their family in the community setting.
