Telephone Consultation and Triage Skills

This popular, long-standing RCGP course is now delivered online and provides you with a real understanding of how to manage the risks involved in telephone assessments to practise safely, effectively and efficiently. The day is entirely practical and will give you realistic tools and techniques in telephone triage and consultations by using interactive exercises, real calls, group work and plenary talks to explore what’s involved in providing care when we are unable to see the patient. The course is suitable for all GPs (qualified and practising, and GP registrars or newly qualified), practice nurses and pharmacists.
