In this session you will work together in small groups building confidence using data sets accessible either publicly or via your NHS login to create a description of your practice community and consider what this description means in terms of service provision/design and how you might share this in tutorials with your trainees.

Description: Primary care is increasingly dominated by rigid clinical protocols and authoritative health bodies, creating a challenging landscape for trainees and seasoned practitioners alike. How do we navigate the tightrope between evidence-based guidelines and the unique desires of our patients, especially when these two diverge? It's time to redefine informed shared decision-making. Let's explore how we can prioritise what's genuinely best for each patient, forging a path that understands ourselves and respects both scientific evidence, and individual patient needs. And of course, the freedom to move away from clinical guidelines when we know it’s the right thing to do.
