Abstract:
General Practitioners (GPs) play an important role in diabetes care at the primary level as the ‘gatekeepers’ of population health. The management of diabetes can slow its progression, reduce complications and improve patient outcomes, which requires effective communication and collaboration between patients and their doctors. Good communication skills in general practice can help to build long-term care relationships with people with diabetes and help them to develop effective self-management skills. This paper summarises the research team's design and development of diabetes communication skills training for GPs guided by a variety of theoretical frameworks, evidence-based findings from a systematic review, experiences and feelings of people with diabetes and GPs based on qualitative studies, and mixed methods research to find the prioritisation of training content in communication skills training. The aim of the paper is to provide solution ideas for high-quality diabetes management in primary care and to inform the design training programmes for GPs based on evidence and medical education frameworks.
