Consultation workshops for GPs
Practical skills that change how your day feels
Many GPs finish their days feeling exhausted.
GP consultations are complex, their consultations are filled with complex psychosocial issues mixed in with important medical issues. How can we listen well, withour the consultation taken ovedr with everything else. How can i stay on time when patients bring long tangled stories with their medical issues.
At consult with clarity, we offer practical, hands-on workshops in consultation skills for general practice.
Why learn consultation skills
General practice can feel relentless.
-
Running late every day
-
Too many issues in one consult
-
Emotional load that stays with you
-
Trying to do the right thing — but feeling stretched
Left unchecked, this leads to:
-
burnout
-
frustration
-
and a quiet loss of joy in the work
This isn’t because you’re not a good doctor.
It’s because the system — and our training — hasn’t equipped us for the reality of general practice.
Learning to consult efficiently can give you your energy back to do the things you love.
About me
My name is Anne Stephenson, a GP of 30 years
I know what it’s like to run late every day,
to feel pulled in multiple directions,
and to go home with nothing left in the tank.
understand the tension between:
-
patient care
-
time pressure
-
financial sustainability
-
and team wellbeing
Alongside my clinical work, I’ve undertaken extensive training in communication skills in healthcare and in facilitating small-group learning.
This allows me to work effectively with groups of doctors — creating safe, practical learning environments where real change can happen.
I’ve seen how small shifts in consultation approach can transform not just one doctor’s day —
but the flow, culture, and performance of an entire practice.
Testimonials from consultation skills workshops
What stood out to me was the focus on practical frameworks and the opportunity to practice them in a supportive small group setting.
I've already tried some of the strategies, and it's been really helpful in structuring conversations and building rapport with patients.
The format worked really well – the mix of theory, discussion, and practice helped reinforce my learning.-
It's a great opportunity to learn from experienced facilitators and connect with other GPs who share similar interests and challenges.
When you consult with clarity:
You feel more in control of your consultations.
You run closer to time.
You respond to patients — without being overwhelmed by them.
Your thinking becomes clearer and more efficient
Your patients feel heard and understood.
And at the end of the day —you still have something left in the tank.
