Professional Development in General Practice

By John (eds.) Pendleton, David; Hasler

Continuing medical education and audit are currently the principal methods for maintaining and improving standards in primary care. Although each has had limited success the relevance to everyday practice of their approach and content is being questioned. Professional development in general practice is expected to be at the heart of training and development work in the primary health care team for many years to come. It takes a practical approach encompassing techniques such as strategic planning workshops, improving consultation skill, learning from experts, peer review, quality assurance, and mentoring. This book provides a practical guide to this approach, with advice on how and when it should be used and example case studies, and is well referenced and jargon-free.
