CPD Connect (First5 GPs): Paediatrics - Simulation-based learning
GP simulation offers a safe and supportive environment where you can hone your skills and decision-making. In this engaging course you'll collaborate in a small group, actively participating in realistic patient 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.

CPD Connect: GP Partnership Focus Group (First5 GP) - 2:15pm
CPD Connect are looking for First5 GPs to attend focus groups looking at the learning needs of GPs in relation to GP partnership. We are keen for First5 GPs from different backgrounds to come along – whether you are a partner, whether you are thinking about partnership or whether it isn’t even on your mind currently. We are wanting to explore what the learning needs are of First5 GPs in relation to partnership, and we want to hear from people with different experiences. We will be using the outcomes from this to develop the current CPD Connect Preparing for Partnership course that we offer here at NES.
