*** The collaborative venture between the RCGP and the University of Bath producing distant learning packages for GPs ended on 31 March 2007. By mutual agreement the Bath Learning Unit has been closed and the Learning Unit materials have been transferred to the RCGP in London where they will be stocked and promoted. The RCGP is looking at new ways of taking forward this work for the future in the context of developments in Continuing Professional Development and recertification. This is likely to be a web based provision of smaller specific modules (clinical topics) for e-learning. In the interim, the RCGP is continuing to administer the education learning materials but the assignment marking and the tutor support for assignments within the modules is no longer available. In recognition of this, the learning packages are offered at a reduced price, as detailed in this product description. In addition, RCGP members receive a further 10% discount.
