General Practice is a broad research theme that encompasses the following clinical and professional topics within the discipline of general practice:
Learning how to identify and explain Persistent Physical Symptoms (PPS) to patients
After several years of educational research, our students are now being taught how to identify, explain, and better manage patients with persistent symptoms (i.e. functional symptoms, chronic pain, somatisation). Explanations are based on emerging insights from the neurosciences. Teaching resources include the locally produced Persistent Symptoms handbook, demonstration videos, and well-designed interactive workshops. For more information, contact:
