Event Description:
Can we trust the GPs?

Does the public trust the GPs and are they right to do so? Are older people discriminated against in our healthcare system and are GPs party to that? Do GPs take rationing decisions and should they? Are GPs really interested in keeping the population healthy?

GPs have been – along with other doctors – shown to discriminate against some groups of patients. We need to tease out why, and GPs need to be clear with the public. Yet in almost all areas GPs are more trusted than almost all other professionals – and there is a reason for that. So though GPs need to change, it is really the system that needs to change even more. And – with some exceptions – we can, broadly, trust the GPs.

Course structure


The course is an intensive one day course, using a lecture based format. Plenty of opportunity will be given for questions, and humour and video clips are used to illustrate points being made and to help maintain concentration. The presenters discuss the results of the most important and relevant research papers, placing them in the context of all the research evidence in this area and the needs of primary care. Suggestions are made of ways that the new research can be implemented in the consultation. On the day, registration starts at 8.30 and the course starts promptly at 9.00 and finishes at 17.00.

The GP Update Handbook

The Handbook is a 350 page document outlining the results of the most important research relevant to primary care over the last 5 years. The Handbook covers more subjects more extensively than is possible in the one-day course and is a valuable resource document for current needs and future reference.
