How changing our language can improve the diabetes consultation - Breakfast Session
Saturday, 11 June 2011 Start 7:30am Duration: 45mins Baytrust Forum
‘Giving the diabetes consultation a communication makeover: how changing our language can transform
behaviour ‘.
Diabetes management with its major component of lifestyle behaviour change is currently based on
intervention approaches focused on health professionals driving the change process through provision
of persistent, repetitive advice and education.
Action research carried out by the TADS training programme has been supported by emerging data from
a current diabetes study indicating that how we communicate with our patients can produce a negative
effect on their behavioural change decisions, and why a change of approach to one of person focused
facilitation can be a stress buster for both patient and practitioner.

The delivery of vaccinations is probably the most evidence-based medicine we practice. The absence of
disease may be a hard concept to sell, but the gains are dramatic. Furthermore the world is expanding
rapidly with fantastic new vaccines available and coming on the market. As GPs we can no longer take
coffee breaks through the immunisation updates and leave the practice nurses to know all the answers.
This presentation will give a rapid overview of the schedule update this year, the private market vaccines
our patients will want to know about, communication and myth, cool new research and future directions
for vaccinology.
