Higher Professional Education for General Practitioners

This guide offers advice on the best approach to planning educational and vocational training throughout professional general practice.

It outlines the issues surrounding the introduction of Higher Professional Education (HPE) enabling newly qualified doctors to focus on areas that they feel unsure in, or where they require additional training, relieving pressure on the vocational training curriculum.

It should be of interest to those currently undertaking HPE, as well as helping those setting up educational programmes for GPs in the first year after their vocational training scheme.
