GP Registrar Insights: No more gaps, sharpening skills in tricky clinical areas

Welcome to our peer-led educational programme for all GP registrars! We aim to create an informal space for registrars to come together once a month and share their questions, thoughts and worries about various topics related to GP training. Each session will have a theme, varying from exams to post-CCT preparations, with plenty of scope for future topics to be decided by you. Sessions will be facilitated mainly by other registrars with experience/an interest in the topic.
