The programme has been developed with the help of many suggestions submitted by RCGP members.

This year’s conference theme is ‘Expanding horizons of care’, looking at how we can work more effectively with related healthcare services to provide even greater care for the people and families in our communities.

Why attend? A packed programme ensures there is

something to suit the whole practice team.

Learn new skills and exchange ideas using a range of educational techniques.

Plenty of networking opportunities to exchange ideas with over 2000 primary care professionals.

General Practice, University of Warwick• Carolyn Chew-Graham, Professor of General

Practice Research, Keele University• Dr Liz England, NIHR Clinical Lecturer, University

It will show three different consultations: a ‘traditional’ consultation based on an ICD-10 assessment of need, followed by two alternatives: one using behavioural activation techniques, the second using the socio-psycho-bio model from the ‘Bounce Back’ project. The differences between the three approaches will be considered and tips will be given to try in consultations and put into practice in some brief role play. A panel discussion will conclude exploring thoughts on barriers to implementing these ways of working at the frontline, to identify what additional resources are needed to help in taking these ideas home to daily practice.
