How to structure your clinical encounters Lets have a look…

Bad example… Title “migraine tutorial” Things you learned: “diagnosis, treatment guidelines, referrals,” What will you do differently “Manage according to set guidelines” ✓SATISFIES PANEL/PUBLIC ✗SERVES LITTLE PURPOSE FOR YOU

a Better Example… Title “migraine tutorial” Things you learned: “diagnosis, treatment guidelines, referrals,” “Must remember that high dose aspirin (900mg) with metoclopropramide can stop an acute attack if taken early and is a simple measure” What will you do differently “Manage according to MIPCA protocol guidelines, and encourage the aspirin regime when someone presents early” ✓ SATISFIES PANEL/PUBLIC ✓ SATISFIES YOU : eg the next time a patient comes in with migraine but a) you can’t remember who wrote the protocol and where it is and b) if you forget the “aspirin regime”  you can search for it
