The programme centres upon the management and delivery of Primary Health Care, and emphasises the need for skills in practice management; there are 2 self-funded residential modules, 1 of which covers finance and practice management, and another that covers the management of change; the programme also aims to nurture the personal development of the individual student; it provides the GP Registrar with a student forum to reflect on the realities of life in general practice, and to develop the interpersonal and management skills needed for working as part of a practice team; this is encouraged by working in cohesive small groups.
