Safety netting case study

In the following activity, we would like you to look at a snippet of a consultation and focus on how the clinician provides safety netting advice to the patient.

Keeping in mind what we have learned about safety netting, consider the following:

• Is the advice appropriate?
• Is the patient well equipped to self-signpost in case of worsening symptoms?
• What other advice would you give the patient?
• What should you consider when safety netting patients?
