Patient Examinations

It is likely that there will be differences between the IDGs undergraduate training and the FGDP recommended standards. It is advisable to establish a robust system for completing patient examinations at an early stage. Booking time for the FD to observe the ES working a few sessions prior to seeing their own patients is highly recommended. The construction of a written checklist will serve as a useful aid memoir in the early weeks. In Wales this will involve understanding the context and use of ACORN risk and assessment.
