Patient Safety Zone

GP specialty trainees are required to complete a Quality Improvement project during their first 6-month GP placement (GPST1 or GPST2). These projects will be assessed by Educational Supervisors as part of Work Place Based Assessment. This can seem like a big challenge when you are just finding your feet in a new environment.

You can avail of our course which will break this down into small chunks, giving you great tips to make your QIP easier to complete, and help your project attract better marks.

The course will be delivered to cohorts of around 30 trainees from across Scotland and consist of two 90-minute interactive online workshops.
