Pressures on training practices are increasing. Red tape and paperwork is rising and general practices are becoming more involved in undergraduate medical teaching.
There are increasing numbers of aspiring GPs who need to be trained to the excellent standard required to provide frontline primary care.

This guide will help outline to GP Supervisors, GPs and practice managers the benefits, risks and challenges associated with using this training approach, as well as practical examples of integrated learning.
