The BJGP publishes videos and multimedia to highlight research findings, clinical impact, and top 10 articles. Here's a selection of BJGP videos. See BJGP YouTube playlist for more videos and updates.

 

Safety netting to avoid missed diagnoses

The diagnostic strategy of safety-netting is examined by Edwards et al. who found use of safety netting in almost two-thirds of consultations, but actions required by patients were not always documented. In an accompanying paper, Edwards et al. report the development of a coding tool. Formalising safety netting may be particularly important in patients with low risk but not ‘no risk symptoms’ suggestive of cancer.
