Overall aim of this chapter: to take the reader (trainers and TPDs mainly) a back to basics: what's the point of a model? are models really worthwhile and a quick comparison of the models and what they are in a nutshell.
- What is a model?
- Why consultation models are important; are they still relevant? Why study consultation models?
- Why the educator needs to know about some of the models out there
- A brief yet concise summary of all the models
- NLP model for the consultation
- Breaking Bad News models
- I particularly like this table: consultation models all mapped out on a grid (powerpoint) but dont know who it is by - perhaps we could just tweak it a bit and make it our own?
- Which model do we go for? I dont think it matters because most focus on Peter Tate's 5 point scheme (?mention that; see resource on right called why look at models? 2). However, my personal opinion is the Calgary Cambridge model is the most comprehensive and I think the only one based on evidence.
- NB Peter Tate's consultation scheme:
Not a consultation model but the scheme used in his book1.Discover reasons for attendance2.Define the clinical problem(s)3.Explain the problem(s) to the patient4.Manage the patient’s problem5.Make effective use of the consultation
- Beyond the consultation models - what is healing and what does therapeutic mean? (Juliet Draper to write this bit): start with Balint and move onto narrative-based medicine and the influence of family systems theory, and also discuss the emotional fall out of consulting, transference, counter tranference etc.
