Synopsis
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.

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. First Edition. Minor shelfwear. Library sticker on spine and half-title page; library stamp on half-title page; text tight and bright., This book reflects an entirely new approach to the professional development of doctors - an approach involving a much broader range of skills and techniques than that implied by continuing medical education. Traditional medical education is limited by its concentration on updating and increasing knowledge rather than acquiring new skills. In addition, there is very little evidence that the traditional methods work. In this book, the authors explain why a completely new approach is needed to help doctors and their practices function more effectively. A wide range of activities are described, including strategic planning, improving consultation skills portfolio-based learning and the use of mentors and facilitators. Professional Development in General Practice is a practical guide to an approach to professional development which will be at the heart of training and development in the primary health care team for many years to come. Case studies are included, as well as advice on how and when this approach should be used, and the authors conclude with a look towards the future. This book is intended for general practitioners, GP tutors, regional advisers, and course organisers. Also trainers and trainees in vocational training, audit facilitators, and Medical Audit Advisory Group members. Govt.Ref.Lib.Copy. Hardly Used. Seller Inventory # 083995
