A reflection on Salbutamol overuse in one GP practice in Islington: a community action project at Imperial College London
Educ Prim Care. 2023 Aug 8:1-4. doi: 10.1080/14739879.2023.2241040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs 3rd-year medical students at Imperial College London, we investigated Salbutamol overuse in the community of Islington. We were inspired to carry out this project due to the high prevalence of Salbutamol overuse which became evident during our GP placement. This was part of our Community Action Project (CAP) which aims for students to investigate issues within their GP practice and patient population and create solutions to help overcome this, like a quality improvement project. This project focused on the local community a...

A realist evaluation of a London general practitioner trainer course
Educ Prim Care. 2023 Aug 7:1-8. doi: 10.1080/14739879.2023.2241025. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClinicians with teaching and training roles should be adequately trained and assessed. However, some debate exists as to what the nature of this training should be. Historically, a postgraduate certificate in education was a pre-requisite to becoming a GP trainer but this is changing with growing concern that such a pre-requisite might act as a deterrent to potential GP trainers. This research examines the impact of a scheme designed to provide an alternative, more practical and focused, pathway to becoming a GP trainer. We in...

What competencies do European general practice trainees value the most? A prioritisation exercise using a Delphi-informed approach
Educ Prim Care. 2023 Jul 16:1-7. doi: 10.1080/14739879.2023.2222718. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGeneral Practice has changed over the past decade. Expansion of clinicians' roles may create uncertainty, stress, and overload - particular for those at the start of their career. The WONCA Europe network for medical education, EURACT, has published competency-based aims and requirements for speciality training in general practice. Greater understanding of the trainee perspective would support planning and delivery of postgraduate training curricula. This two-step study aims to provide a competency priority list, created by E...
