The Essential GP Induction Workbook: for trainers, trainees & FY docs in general practice

This workbook is devised as a guide to help GP Trainers and their new GP Trainees or Foundation Year (FY) doctors during the induction period. It will simplify your induction period by bringing together all the commonly used resources together in one book. Plus, no more searching your computer for files here, there and everywhere. And no more emailing things out. Instead, buy a copy for your trainee - and voila - you're all ready!

This workbook provides a generic induction framework that should work universally across the UK (minor adjustments for Scotland). It is devised to ensure comprehensive coverage of all the essential areas of General Practice Training in a structured and timely way - WITHOUT overloading the new trainee! And of course, you can cherry-pick and focus on specific areas too.

This GP induction workbook will inject a lot of creativity and dynamism into your induction training period. It will certainly give peace of mind that everything that needs covering is covered - including those little but important bits we all often forget. It is full of tasks, task sheets, things to read at home and a suggested set of tutorial programmes. There's a lot to learn in General Practice. This workbook ensures that the trainee is equipped with the "right level of knowledge" for this moment in time. And that includes what clinical bits to know early on to ensure patient safety.

With the challenging requirements of the trainees and the restrictive timelines trainers have to abide by, this book is the perfect aide-memoire for both parties. So who should buy this handbook? GP trainers, GP trainees and FY doctors doing a stint in General Practice. GP induction has never been made easier. Simplify your training life.
