The Inner Consultation: How To Develop An Effective And Intuitive Consulting Style

by Roger Neighbour

The Inner Consultation, Second Edition sets out the author’s thoughts on how consulting skills, and methods of teaching them, have evolved in the 17 years since the book’s first publication. It also develops the theme of ‘curiosity’ as the key requirement for patient-centred consulting and provides a practical consultation model with five checkpoints to work to, advice for developing skills, and suggestions for doctors to ensure they know the cues in the consultation that require their full attention. All general practitioners, GP registrars, and medical professionals will find this book essential and thought-provoking reading.

It is essential to book for every General Practitioner.
I was trained in Lithuania, and while reading The inner Consultation, I found a lot of things that never have been told me while studying at my Alma mater. I found beneficial the ICE method and the Golden minute of patient's history taking.
I will add this book to my reread I one, as it contains a lot of wisdom and would suggest for every person who works in the medical occupation. To my hope, every student should read it before encountering the patient.

Read as part of research for upcoming book. If doctor/patient relationships interest you - this is a good read!

Read this at the very beginning of my career as a GP. I still remember some of the concepts 23 years later
