These consultations are scripted so that the patient has an active role to play. They also lead onto follow up activities that help the patient to make important changes to their lifestyle. In this way the consultation becomes the centre of whole network of activities and interventions, done by a range of different clinical, healthcare and volunteer roles inside and outside the formal health system. Via Nesta’s article “People Powered Consultations” – also worth a peruse.
