Managing "problem" juniors

Practical advice is available

The first 100% of the full text of this article appears below.

Practical advice for managing doctors in difficulty has just been published by the National Association of Clinical Tutors (2008).1 2 It provides a comprehensive diagnostic framework for formulating problems and suggests appropriate management options. The approach used is systematic and consistent and makes reference to the National Clinical Assessment Service. I would commend this resource to UK medical educationalists as their first port of call.
