Communicative project which aims to "educate the population for health". In this case to the group of elderly people.
Although the responsibility of carrying out a successful communication with their patients falls on the professional person of the Medicine, and it is a capacity that can be trained and reinforced through continuous training, that the patients can be advised on how to prepare a consultation will allow them to face the meeting with their doctor with a security and tranquility that will always benefit them.

The campaign "Preparing your medical practice", an initiative framed within its commitment to education and promotion of the health of citizens.

In order to make going to a consultation with our doctor an even more effective experience, the Medical Association of Biscay has designed a series of recommendations and reminders that will help citizens in general, and older people in particular, to live their consultation with their doctor as a positive and rewarding experience.

Resources needed

Part-time editing of materials and people using the infrastructure of the CMB and intermediate public bodies

Evidence of success

The reception of users and requests for presentations received.

Difficulties encountered

General interest of the intermediate agents to make it possible to reach the final users.

Potential for learning or transfer

It is a practice that can be perfectly replicated in any territory. The forms and supports can be adapted to the uses of the specific community, but the reassuring effect of the patient, optimizing the effects of the consultation and improving doctor-patient communication will be the objective/ achievement in any case.
