Appetite for sustainable healthcare education
Thanks for sharing this video Emily, a lot to be done in this area. Last year I presented a survery carried out by a colleague and I at the WONCA conference in Copenhagen. We found an appetite for more education among GP trainees, both in the UK and Denmark. A link to our poster can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7-PjFnSfu_3WHJlY3pHcEw4STQ
What stage is this making it into UK curriculums currently?
Great video!
I'm a bit late to the table here, but found this video really useful and inspiring. I agree wholeheartedly when the narrator says that it's not a matter of inventing new courses or offering more electives or options, but about embedding what we know into our core teaching. It feels like a big boulder to push up that hill sometimes!!
