What worked well from Tutors (all feedback from Spring 2025)
- Seeing patients and mid/post consultations discussions.
- Hot desking
- Face to face consultations with patients
- Hot seating, treatment room, running BP clinic
- Speaking to a prearranged patient, doing audit, taking bloods.
- Visiting a patient in their own home or a Nursing Home
- Patient face to face consultations, medication counselling with PBP
- Seeing patients in clinic
- Consulting with patients and presenting cases/getting feedback
- Clinical contact with patients - sitting in with GP during surgeries
- Overall, for students and tutors alike most useful activities are the times sitting in with GP and getting direct patient contact. This year, we involved the students with a Covid spring booster clinic which they all really enjoyed.
- Protected student led consultations (hot seating) with direct GP supervision.
- Taking histories and examining patients, both supervised and unsupervised.
- Hot seating, blood taking, ECG.
