Year 5 Community Block

Y5/GE3 is the senior GP placement. Students spend an extended period in General Practice and learn about it in depth as a specialty. Students are attached to a local GP surgery and carry out consultations with patients under supervision of a GP tutor. The students are in practice three days per week. 

On the other two days students have teaching in the Primary Care department, comprising seminars, tutorials and consultation skills practice using simulated patients. These sessions cover a range of clinical topics common to Primary Care, as well as exploring broader themes of practice such as clinical reasoning, uncertainty and managing multimorbidity.  We also have a health inequalities thread which explores barriers to healthcare, service design and improvement, commercial determinants of health and sustainability.
