CM 10 Problems in the delivery of whole person care
	Topic contents and suggested Resources
1 Targets and priorities
In the NHS we have a climate of governmental and managerial control which sets targets and priorities. How do these affect doctors and patients in managing all aspects of personal health?
CM10/11
CM10/12

2 Time management
Most doctors (and other therapists) realise that giving the patient time is the most valuable gift they have. Everyone feels short of time. How do we use time effectively in order to give the patient all the time they need?
CM10/21

3 Discordance between belief systems
Both the doctor (therapist) and the patient come to the consultation with their own belief system. Often these clash. How does the doctor respect the patient's beliefs without compromising their own belief system?
CM10/31

4 Ethics and professionalism
The GMC and Royal Colleges produce ethical guidance about practice when dealing with differing belief systems. What is this guidance, and how does it influence our practice?
CM10/41

5 Patient's expectations
What forms the patient's expectations? How do we find out what they are, and how do we modify un-healthy expectations?
CM10/51

6 NHS Guidelines
Guidance produced by the Department of Health and other official bodies which cover spiritual and religious care of patients in the NHS. Then articles which discuss the success or failure of these policies.
