'Bitesize' primary care focused education programme for GP trainees in their hospital component: an evaluation of a national teaching pilot
Educ Prim Care. 2024 Apr 14:1-5. doi: 10.1080/14739879.2024.2336218. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is need for a greater connection between General Practice and GP trainees in their hospital component of training. Currently, in Scotland, there are no national education programmes specifically designed for GP trainees during their hospital component of training. Our aim was to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a national online 'bitesize' education programme delivered live for GP trainees in their hospital component of training. The study also aims to assess the barriers to attending these teaching sessions and ...

Evaluating the impact of a teaching course for GP speciality trainees
CONCLUSIONS: Teaching skill courses alone are insufficient to address the ongoing challenges of enhancing the teaching role of GPSTs. Further work is now needed to explore multi-level interventions to promote the role of GPSTs as near-peer teachers to harness the mutual benefits to all involved.PMID:38615344 | DOI:10.1080/14739879.2024.2336211 (Source: Education for Primary Care)

Do patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus included in randomised clinical trials differ from general-practice patients? A cross-sectional comparative study
Conclusions
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus cared for in general practice differ in a number of important aspects from patients included in randomised controlled trials on which clinical practice guidelines are based. This situation hampers the applicability of these guidelines. Future randomised trials should include patients who better fit the ‘average’ general-practice patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus to help improve the translation of study findings in daily practice.

Caregiving experiences of family caregivers of patients with schizophrenia in a community: a qualitative study in Beijing
Conclusion
Family caregivers experienced psychosocial distress and family stress in the process of caregiving. They had to cope with caregiving stress and were concerned about the long-term care of people with schizophrenia. These findings provide implications for intervention programmes to strengthen social support, family involvement, and active coping for caregivers and develop long-term care mechanisms for people with schizophrenia.
