  1. Advanced consultation skills Consulting with more than one patient

  2. Two way consultation • Check that you know who is who • (Ask yourself why the relative has come?) • Welcome both parties • Get the seating right so that the patient is the primary focus but the relative is not excluded

  3. Two way consultation • Check what the patient is happy to share • Signpost clearly who you are talking to • Ask permission to get the relatives views • Be alert to cues from both parties

  4. Two way consultations • Don’t get too side tracked away from the patients problem by the relative • Think about privacy/chaperone/ 2nd party leaving the room prior to physical examination • You may need to summarise for both patient & relative and the emphasis of the summaries may be different • You may want to ask just the patient or both to come back to the review appointment depending upon which is going to be the most productive.
