Teaching Episode

The ability to teach as a doctor in general practice (GP) is not only a requirement for the GP curriculum but is increasingly being recognized as a key skill for any doctor in the modern National Health Service (NHS). The recent guidance document from the General Medical Council, ‘Duties of a doctor’ clearly states: ‘Teaching, training, appraising and assessing doctors and students are important for the care of patients now and in the future. You should be willing to contribute to these activities’. Long gone are the days when doctors were expected to know all they needed to know simply because they were doctors. New models of working and the drive for all new alternative providers of medical services practices to offer training mean that the ability to teach is also an attractive skill for you to offer to future employers. The types of people involved in teaching and learning in primary care are now more diverse than ever before. Working in a multidisciplinary team with other colleagues brings unique challenges that could see you feeling out of your comfort zone. This article will help you to feel more prepared to teach others, using the example of teaching about asthma.

This paper is based on the Bradshaw Lecture delivered at the college in July 2012. It is a personal reflection on surgical professionalism garnered from experience not only as a professor of surgery for 31 years, and recently as Vice-Dean for Professional Affairs at University College London, but also from experience acquired as the only surgeon case examiner in the Fitness to Practise Directorate of the General Medical Council (GMC) over the last 7 years. During this time, I have been involved in the investigation of over 2,000 doctors referred to the GMC regarding fitness-to-practise allegations. Some issues have been addressed in a previous Bulletin article. This paper provides an update and highlights some recent concepts that were presented in the Bradshaw Lecture.

And Training

The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) was established by an act of Parliament in 2003, to set standards for postgraduate medical education and training and to ensure that those standards are met. On 30 September 2005 PMETB took over the functions of the Specialist Training Authority and the Joint Committee on Postgraduate Training for General Practice. Under article 14(4) of the regulations governing PMETB, doctors whose training or qualifications and experience, considered together, meet the requirements of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) programme in one of the standard CCT specialties, may apply to PMETB for a statement of eligibility for registration. This in turn allows application to the General Medical Council for admission to the specialist register.
