Introduction and Overview course for GPs
The RCGP curriculum describes in detail the learning which is required in order to reach the standard to work as a General Practitioner in the modern NHS. This module will provide information on the core statement and help you understand what this means and how it relates to the day-to-day management of patients in practice. This session was reviewed by Suchita Shah and last updated in October 2014.
