This session aims to explore the determinants of consultation length and what it means to consult efficiently. This session was reviewed by Jenny Bedford and last updated in October 2014.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Describe the determinants of consultation length, including doctor, patient and organisational factors
  • Explain why clinical efficiency is independent of consultation length
  • Demonstrate techniques to limit consultation length when appropriate
  • Recognise, monitor and manage the effects of running late on job satisfaction, stress levels, unequal workloads and burnout

The personal costs and benefits of spending additional time with patients are outlined in the hope that this will enable you to decide how you would like to spend your working day as a GP.
