Help your patients reclaim their lives from illness, disability pain or fatigue

Event Information

Patients with long term conditions and medically unexplained physical symptoms present in a range of settings across all areas of medicine. This workshop will provide clinicians with specific assessment and management skills based upon the five areas® assessment CBT model - and focus upon a range of interventions to help the patient use experiments and structured problem-solving plans to help them understand why they feel as they do, and improve how they feel

After you have attended this course you should be able to: 

  • Describe the range of illness responses and understand these using a cognitive behavioral framework
  • Help make sense of the patients current presentation – including how to assess complex presentations such as chronic fatigue, cancer, heart, lung problems and pain       
  • Discover an engaging language that helps introduce the impact of illness to patients in acceptable ways 
  • Identify factors that are worsening how the person feels, and choose realistic targets for change 
  • Help patients reattribute the causes of their symptoms 
  • Describe in detail a plan to increase activity levels in order to overcome avoidance and reduced activity in the face of symptoms 
  • Identify a range of common unhelpful behaviours that worsen how the person feels.
