You should minimise any interruptions to compressions.Compressions should be delivered harder and faster.Avoid over ventilation.Rescuers should compress the centre of the chest.

orking with difficult patients and clients: Why do thingso pear-shaped in service delivery?

. Andersen

Victoria University, Melbourne

It would be safe to say that all practicing sports medicineersonnel and applied sport and exercise scientists haveorked with patients and clients who have, for some reason or

nother, posed challenges to them and their service delivery.or example, some patients readily agree to home exercises

n the physiotherapist’s office but fail to do them week aftereek of rehabilitation. Some clients would rather just chatith the practitioner than work on the concerns that brought

hem to the practitioner in the first place. Some patients keepmportant information hidden, and thus, practitioners can-ot make accurate or complete formulations about what isoing on. The list of examples of difficult clients and patientss nearly endless. This workshop will explore the areas inhich such difficulties may lie. Sometimes the difficulties

re housed primarily in the client or patient. Sometimes theifficulties arise out of the practitioners’ past experiences, andost often the difficulties reside in the quality of the relation-

hip between the practitioners and their patients/clients. Theorkshop will include a brief didactic introduction to diffi-

ult patients, a round-table discussion of personal experiencesith problematic clients, and some demonstration roleplaysf difficult encounters between practitioners and clients. Its hoped that the participants will leave the workshop with aeener appreciation as to why some clients/patients are prob-ematic, how one might work better with such individuals, and
