What is good medicine and what makes a good doctor? Medicine and its Practice explores these questions while encouraging self-reflection to improve patient care and address potential breaches before they happen. It takes a preemptive approach to teach medical practitioners the skills and forethought to be able to manage difficult situations appropriately and avoid making errors, while encouraging reflection and mindfulness through the many clinical reasoning activities and practical cases. Topics covered include medicolegal issues such as duty of care, consent, technology-based consultation and social media, as well as ethical behaviour and the importance of effective communication. This book is an essential resource for all general practitioners and medical professionals who strive to become better doctors.
