Graphs showing risks help communication
Communication about risks is an increasingly important part of
day to day clinical medicine. On p 749 Edwards et al describe a
training package provided for general practice registrars and use focus
group methods to explore their reactions to the use of different tools
for communicating risks. Doctors found that having a range of risk
tools available helped communication. Graphical presentation of
information was favoured and has the potential to save consultation time.
