CPD Connect (First5 GPs): Child Protection - Simulation-Based Learning
GP simulation offers a safe and supportive environment where you can hone your clinical skills and decision-making. In this engaging course you'll collaborate in a small group, actively participating in realistic scenarios. These interactions are observed by fellow participants, followed by a guided discussion led by a skilled facilitator. This reflective process encourages deeper learning and is tailored to your individual goals.
Target Audience: First5 GPs (When booking, please enter your CCT date in the Special Requirements box to authenticate your funding).
This workshop has been designed for a small group of learners. We are currently able to offer places at no charge due to Scottish Government funding, but it is highly resource intensive. While we understand that unexpected emergencies may arise, please only book if you are genuinely confident that you can attend.
This is IN-PERSON learning - venue is NHS Education for Scotland, 177 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, G2 7ER
