Primary Care in Practice
We understand that starting out in independent practice can be daunting, and there may be other non-clinical skills that you wish to explore and develop to enhance your experience and confidence.
We want to help you feel prepared and confident while learning alongside your new colleagues and peers. That’s why we’re excited to offer a free learning program open to the wider Primary Care Workforce, organised by the Coventry and Warwickshire Training Hub and hosted by local GPs. These sessions will be held as a combination of virtual sessions (through Zoom) and face-to-face sessions.
Topics include:
- What support is available to those working within Primary Care?
- What is Primary Care?
- Leadership structure within Primary Care
- The different roles and responsibilities within Primary Care
