Essential General Practice Update
Two
Welcome to our second pilot of the Essential General
Practice (EGP) update programme. Our second Update
consists of 7 major items and 20 briefings. Most should be relevant to
your practice – wherever you practise in the UK, whatever stage of
your career you’re at or if you work as a GP partner/principal, a
salaried GP or locum in an inner city or rural practice.
We appreciate you helping us to trial this pilot programme.
Before you start on the Update items, read through the introduction
section. You might want to look at the section which presents
the 7 clinical scenarios and self
assessment questions to test your knowledge of the areas
covered. Then you could focus on the EGP Update items where you
have the most learning needs if you prefer, rather than working
through the contents of the whole programme.
