HAVE WE NEGLECTED OUR PATIENTS DURING CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN? WHAT SHOULD WE CHANGE DURING LONG COVID?
Abstract
Abstract Body
BACKGROUND
In 2020, a considerable change affected our family practices, priorities and the interactions with our patients. As a big part of patient-doctor contacts has gone online, and valuable was reduced to correspondence via e-mail, phone calls, video conferences. Clinical specialists expressed a concern due to the noticeable reduction of the number of referrals of patients to the secondary level, in the United Kingdom the reduction was up to 80%. Inevitably the question arises: have we neglected patients with other diseases due to combating COVID-19? Some scientific evidence concerning this topic will be presented.
AIMS AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
To understand the continuous demand of healthcare during COVID-19
Facilitate exchange of best practices concerning organisational approach of FP/GP during COVID-19 epidemics.
Attempt to develop one health concept-preparing for long COVID
METHODS AND TIMETABLE
The following methods will be implemented: a short plenary presentation (25 minutes); a discussion in small groups about the experiences in different environments (25 minutes); formulating and listing proposals for organisational changes/adaptations of the FP/GP practices; by returning to plenary, a moderated discussion with the goal od formulating an outline/framework compliant with long COVID
CONCLUSIONS
Take-home messages, including practical tools for dealing with long COVID in primary care, will be presented in conclusion of the workshop.

Abstract Body
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous disclosure of survivors of initimate partner violence (IPV) in family practices is extremely rare. In spite of frequent contacts with healthcare system, 20 to 70% of victims never raise the topic of violence when talking to their healthcare professionals, unless specifically asked. According to international recommendations, identifying victims and perpetrators of IPV should take place in primary healthcare. Evidence shows, that the victims would disclose to their family doctor, if asked in the proper manner. Several barriers on both sides, the doctors´ and the survivors´, prevent the violence from being identified and adressed effectively.
AIMS AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Facilitating disclosure as an important element in treating violence will be presented.
The aim of the workshop is to address communication skills in the approach to the patients affected by IPV (e.g. 'LIVES'-Listen better to survivors, Inquire specificall, Validate emotion and suffering, show Empathy and Empower, asses and plan for Safety).
The participants will acquire a practical tool to use in the communication with survivors of IPV.
METHODS AND TIMETABLE
The following methods will be implemented: a short plenary presentation (10 min), clinical case discussion, partly in small groups (25min). By returning to plenary, we will highliht the dilemmas in talking to survivors of violence. (10min).
CONCLUSIONS
Take-home messages, including practical tools for dealing with IPV in primary care, will be presented in conclusion of the workshop.
