THE LISTENING LOOP: A MODEL OF CHOICE ABOUT CUES WITHIN PRIMARY CARE CONSULTATIONS

A mobile phone company is sponsoring one – paragraph summaries of great works, e.g. ‘Five sisters want to get married, two fit and loaded blokes appear on the scene’ (Pride and Prejudice). In the zeitgeist, then, I shall do the same for these nine papers:

1. Learn from your mistakes

2. All you wanted to know about your career

3. Fail people

4. Listen for cues

5. Consultants are grumpy

6. Commissioning – another barmy idea

7. Community matrons – yet another barmy idea

8. Challenge students intellectually

9. US doesn’t train enough GPs.

There, that wasn’t so bad, was it?
