General Practice is a discipline with almost no boundaries,
there are no physical, social or emotional boundaries that a GP may not have to
face sooner or later. Great emphasis is placed on Personal Learning Plans (PLP) -
deciding what you need to know and then how to go about it.
To cover the whole of clinical medicine is an impossible task.
In broad terms, we expect the Registrar to gain insight into how they work as a
GP, a holistic view of the patient from birth to death, and the vocational
demands placed on you as an individual.
|
Learning takes place by four main methods:
- Direct observation of the Trainer at work
- Supervised clinical activity, the Registrar deals with
patients on his own, but with the Trainer being available for immediate
help. there are debriefs after surgeries in which the Registrar can
explore any concerns
- Project work and self instruction. Each registrar will
carry out an audit during their attachment.
- Consultation skills analysis using video allows the
Registrar to assess, discuss and improve their consultation skills.
