• A 15 year old patient has been seeing the GP on his own and they have decided that an appointment with the practice counsellor might be beneficial. The counsellor writes to the patient at this home to request that he call and make an appointment. His father opens the letter. The son returns from school to find his parents furious with him for not informing them what was happening. The boy refuses to discuss the matter and they state that they will be going to speak to the doctor in the morning and will get to the bottom of this whether he likes it or not! • How should the practice treat the situation when they arrive? • Is there anything the practice should/could have done differently in this scenario?
