CONSULTATIONS IN DEPRIVED AREAS - 1
Multiple morbidity and social complexity Shortage of time Reduced expectations Lower enablement (especially for mental health problems) Practitioner stress

CONSULTATIONS IN DEPRIVED AREAS - 2
Patients showed less desire for shared decision-making GPs perceived as less empathetic GPs displayed less patient-centred verbal and nonverbal behaviours Outcomes worse at 1 month (MYMOP) Perceived physician empathy predicted better outcomes

INVERSE CARE LAW
“The availability of good medical care tends to vary inversely with the need for it in the population served”. Julian Tudor Hart Not the difference between good and bad care, but between what general practices can do and could do with resources based on need.
Applying the CARE measure and Patient Enablement Instrument (PEI) after general practice consultations
YOU CAN GET EMPATHY WITHOUT ENABLEMENT BUT YOU NEVER GET ENABLEMENT WITHOUT EMPATHY

CMAJ 185 (e-publication ahead of print): E221-E228, 2013, doi:10.1503/cmaj.121349
10% of patients with 4 or more conditions accounted for 34% of patients with unplanned admissions to hospital and 47% of patients with potentially preventable unplanned admissions.
MEASURING OMISSION THE RULE OF HALVES 50% were diagnosed 50% were treated 50% were controlled i.e. 12% get best care THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD INFORMATION
Listen to the patient He is telling you the diagnosis
