Description:
Over that last year we have been asking out speakers to imagine this:

You are about to give a talk to a group of interested GPs. You were going to speak for 1 hour at an important international conference, but as bad luck would have it, you and a group of GPs have got stuck in the lift and your talk has been cancelled. However, you will be rescued in two minutes. Knowing what an interesting speaker you are and how passionately you feel about this area of your work, your colleagues plead with you to pass on some essential pearls of wisdom. What are your top tips in two minutes??!!!

Here, gathered together, are their 'Top Tips.'

Addenbrookes PGMC provides top tips as educational aid to clinical practice based on published evidence. The ultimate judgement regarding a particular clinical problem lies with the clinician directly involved and in light of information presented by the patient and the options available. These guides are not meant to be prescriptive.
