When your patient is a doctor: A practical framework for approaching doctor-patient consultations

Caring for a fellow doctor can present unique challenges. Questions about confidentiality, professional boundaries, assumptions and fear of regulation can make these consultations feel different and affect care for both the clinician and the patient. Doctors do not need different care. They need thoughtful, deliberate care that ensures they receive the same high-quality, holistic treatment as every other patient.

This practical webinar introduces the Ts and Ss Model, a simple framework for approaching doctor-patient consultations with greater confidence.

Through a case study and discussion with experienced GPs, you'll explore common challenges and gain practical strategies that can be applied immediately in clinical practice.

Suitable for GPs and all health professionals who care for doctors as patients, including psychiatrists, other medical specialists, psychologists and allied health professionals.
