[WS2-18] Facilitating reflection on the Doctor/Patient relationship

Organizer/Chair: Alison Begg(GP and Medical educator, Royal New Zealand College of General Practice, New Zealand)
Facilitator: Alison Begg(GP and Medical educator, Royal New Zealand College of General Practice, New Zealand), Upeksha Settinayake(Royal New Zealand College of General Practice, New Zealand)
This is a practical workshop aimed at developing your ability to facilitate small groups of peers to discuss challenges in the doctor/patient relationship.
Once we have become reasonably competent with biomedical medicine our relationships with patients often become the most demanding aspect of clinical work. In the absence of a trained facilitator, peer group discussion tends to focus on biomedical aspects of practice.
A group of us have been working on educating interested GPs to become “peer facilitators” for non-biomedical cases when the need arises. This has evolved from our experience in teaching communication skills and leading Balint groups.
This experiential session will involve theoretical presentation, demonstration and opportunity for practice in groups of 7-10 people. We will reflect on our experiences in these groups and to plan how we can integrate this learning into groups we are currently involved with – or would like to develop.
