Join us in the annual General practice and primary care update to participate in two days of compelling lectures on clinical medicine and interactive discussions of educational value to frontline general practitioners. The main focus is on assisting decision-making in clinical practice. Scroll down to see the complete agenda.

Use promo code 20GPQ01 to get 20% off for both days when booking to attend in person. 

There are also presentations from CAIPE and poster presentations by undergraduate students, and for the John Fry Prize - scroll down for more information about the prizes - and join us for the Primary care update dinner at the end of Day 1 to have the opportunity to socialise with colleagues and network.

Participants will be able:

  • To increase knowledge of common clinical dilemmas that will assist in decision-making.  
  • To increase reflective practice and self-analysis, for example, the talk on diagnostic difficulties in Primary Care.  
  • To consider the wider implications of current health policy, for example, does the 2-week wait policy for suspected cancer impact adversely on elective care? 
  • To maximise the potential for interprofessional working.

Speakers will be encouraged to interact with the audience during talks or reserve at least 10 minutes per lecture for audience questions and answers.

This event is available to attend in person or virtually. Please select your preference below. A recording will be available for all registered delegates for up to 60 days after the event. The link will be sent 24 hours after the meeting.
