End Date:
23-11-2011
Start Time:
18:00
End Time:
20:00
Venue:
Clinical School, Addenbrooke's Hospital
Description:
This year, we shall be continuing our educational programme for GPs with a special interest in Gynaecology (first established in 2004).

We are planning to meet approx every 2 months in the Clinical School at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. The programme this year has been driven by the identified learning needs of the group and is being delivered by members of the group supported by the course leaders.

The programme is very much aimed at GPs interested in Gynaecology and prepared to lead on this within their own practice – to act as a resource within the practice and ensure referrals are appropriate.

This year we wish to particularly focus on clinical pathways – to look at how the patient currently accesses the different services and design more appropriate and efficient ones. Using QIPP (Quality, Innovation, Prevention, Productivity) to improve the services we commission for our patients.

Supper will be from 18.00 to 18.30, with the meetings taking place from 18.30 to 20.00.

Please note that the group will run alongside the other specialist interest groups in 2010.

Numbers will be limited to maximum 25 and places cannot be reserved.
