We would like to invite you to join our FREE North West England Faculty zoom for Early Mid Career GP s with the NW England Faculty representative Dr Ayede Ologun

Medical consultations occur in a cultural context. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the matrix of all our interactions has changed fundamentally. Michael Balint (1964) put forward the idea that the doctor is the most frequently prescribed drug in general practice. His suggestion that doctors begin studying this phenomenon had a huge influence on the development of General Practice. This interactive seminar seeks to address a central question: ‘How will COVID-19 affect the doctor-patient relationship? How do these things affect the patient’s and the doctors’ feelings? And their interaction together? What of physical examination? How can the drug ‘doctor’ be delivered in the “ new normal”? This interactive seminar will seek to explore these questions through the perspective of what the Balint insight has to offer GPs consulting in these times and beyond. Book your space today.

The workshop will be conducted in small groups and cover injection techniques for knee, elbow, hip, hand and wrist. A short interactive presentation on common MSK conditions needing injections will be followed by practical sessions on joint and soft tissue injection techniques using models.
