Mid-Wessex GP Education
Is in partnership with the Wessex Deanery to provide educational programmes both in hospital and in general practice for doctors training for a career in primary care.
In particular, the GP Registrars day release course is run at the University and the PG Certificate is offered as an optional programme to the standard GP training programme.The PG Cert centres upon the management and delivery of Primary Health Care, and emphasises the need for skills in practice management. It provides CATS points and students may wish to progress on towards a Masters degree. In this way, the programme provides a starting block for the continuing non-clinical professional development of newly qualified GPs.
The course consists of three modules, each worth 20 CATS points, they are:
- The Mangement of Primary Health Care in General Practice
- The National Delivery of Primary Health Care
- Personal Development
The programme centres upon the management and delivery of primary health care, and emphasies the need for skills in practice mamagement. There are two self-funded residential modules, one of which covers finance and practice management, and another that covers the management of change. The programme also aims to nurture the personal development of the individual student. It provides the GP Registrar with a student forum to reflect on the realities of life in general practice, and to develop the inter-personal and management skills needed for working as part of a practice team. This is encouraged by working in small cohesive groups. the current and proposed programme leads to an award through the nationally defined end-point of the Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) examination.
