Essential Primary Care is the first student-focused textbook of medicine for General Practice and Primary Care which covers the consultation, disease prevention and common or important presentations with a focus on their prevalence. It is designed to provide practical advice on how to consult with patients, make sense of their symptoms, explain things to them and manage their problems. Ideal for students in all year groups, Essential Primary Care also helps foster the skills required in the practice, such as practical procedures, gathering information and presenting information. Essential Primary Care: Is structured in five sections: Section one covers the building blocks of primary care: its structure and connection with secondary care, the consultation, the process of making a diagnosis, prescribing, and ethical issues. Section two deals with some key topics in health promotion. Section three deals with patients problems in roughly chronological order. Section four is on cancer and the section five discusses death and palliative care Covers the general practice consultation, keeping people healthy, preventing disease, and common and important problems encountered in primary care Gives students advice on how to phrase questions to gather information and how to present information to patients Provides detailed instructions on performing practical procedures that are central to Primary Care (such as checking blood pressure) and explains how problems should be investigated and managed by a GP according to current guidelines Gives advice on management extends to prescribing, something that is often missing from textbooks Contains case studies within each chapter which reflect the variety of primary care and provide top tips and advice for consulting with patients
