Management of Continuing ProblemsAfter managing the presenting problem of the sore throat it can be a good opportunity to ask about ongoing problems such as diabetes or depression.
Opportunistic Health Promotion Every consultation creates an opportunity to ask about and record such information, for example about smoking, weight, cervical smears, immunisation etc.
