A large number of articles, books and other professional literature on the consultation and communication in medicine refers to their importance in everyday medical practice. This speaks on the importance of the subject on today's medical practise. „The theory and practice of medicine is strongly influenced in any era by the dominant theory of knowledge and by societal values. Medicine is always a child of its time“ (Stewart et al, 2003). Contemporary method of providing health care highlights the importance of recognizing the hollistic approach. Acknowledgment of this broad perspective in caring for patients has led to the development of patient-centred approach. This approach supports quality improvement through consultation analysis. Medical education provides a scientific background and technical clinical skills necessary for future practise, but a good communication acumen is equally as important. A successful consultation is a combination of technical knowledge and skills along with communication skills which enable a physican to develop a partner relationship with a patient. Goal of this type of relationship is managing the problem together with a patient and reaching positive health outcomes. Effective consultation is essential in creating a good interpersonal relationship, information exchange and making quality medical decisions. Putting patient first entails respect of patients' autonomy in making decisions related to their health and health care. Interaction between doctor and patient is a central part of healthcare. Family medicine practitioners in their roles as primary health care providers must always remember the importance and value of good communication and creating quality relationships with their patients. Communication is proven to have influences on treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction with care, adherence and patient enablement.
