Examples used by GPs in interview | |
---|---|
Open questioning | start with a very open question to your consultation… not kind of hone down on anything too quickly because then it allows them to direct us to what they feel may be important |
Physical observation | Rapid speech, agitation, wringing of the hands, whether they’re tearful, how they’re talking |
Attending to lists | people will come to the end of their three or four things and mental health is one of them |
Asking about anxiety in key conditions | if there’s a physical issue for example bowel problems or sleep problems or palpitations then you do tend to ask about the stress and anxiety and mood |
