Patients often come to an appointment with expectations regarding their treatment and care that they may, or may not, make clear to the general practitioner1. One of the challenges faced by the general practitioners is knowing what the patient expectations are, both spoken and unspoken and ensuring that these expectations are realistic2. Failure to identify and correctly manage patient expectations, be they clinical or organizational, are often the result of poor doctor patient communication and has negative consequences for both patient and doctor alike3,4. A study by Shirley and Saunders found that unmet expectations are one of the key contributors to patient dissatisfaction and complaints4.For general practitioners, the consultation is one of the best opportunities to effectively manage patient expectations. A good consultation is one where, through a process of communication and negotiation between patient and doctor, the doctor applies their best clinical skill to resolve the problems which brought the patient to seek their care, and the patient leaves feeling confident their problems have been appropriately dealt with4.Most patients realise that they are not an expert in medical matters and expect to rely on the experience and expertise of the doctors they consult to provide them appropriate and realistic treatment advice for managing their problem.5

The key messages from this Workshop are: • Consent - not just about surgery / risk of poor outcomes. It involves examination, medication, treatment options and costs • Consent is a dialogue. Understanding the patient’s concerns and making sure they understand what they should know, and want to know, before making a choice • Consent can involve others. Navigating family can sometimes be tricky • Mastering these issues is critical for (a) ensuring good patient care and (b) minimising risk of medico-legal issues.
