"Enduring Witness" North Coast GP Training
Enduring Witness. This is a 3 minute excerpt from "Enduring Witness", a 30 minute DVD produced by North Coast GP Training. It was written and directed by Hilton Koppe, senior medical educator with NCGPT.
The DVD traces the fictional relationship between a GP (Geoff) and one of his female patients (Lisa) as she make the transition from adolescence to young adulthood, through consultations about contraception, marriage, pregnancy and caring for her young children. Lisa then develops breast cancer, and we watch how Geoff manages breaking the news, assisting her with treatment, remission, relapse and palliative care. Issues relating to after care for Lisa's family are covered at the end.
The story is told primarily through the eyes of the doctor, and we gain access to some of his "hidden thoughts".
The primary goal of the DVD is to promote discussion about managing emotionally draining situations in general practice. There is further opportunity to explore issues such as breaking bad news, support for colleagues, boundary issues and surviving the ups and downs of clinical practice. The DVD is accompanied by a short workbook to guide participants through discussion of the key issues. This has been designed for use in small group learning situations, but it could also be done as a self-directed learning exercise.
The DVD was produced to assist in education for both registrars and experienced GPs, including supervisors.
Principal actors: Paul Worsnop, Emma Hamblin.
Produced by South Pacific Films.
