Early Years in Primary Care comprises 12 half-day sessions in both first and second year. It aims to complement the biomedical science that the medical students learn in their first and second year and, most importantly, introduces them to a real life patient volunteer to put this theoretical learning into context.  The aim is to build empathy and develop a person-centered approach to practice.  There are learning objectives based on a clinical topic to work through each session, as well as opportunities to practise clinical skills and prescribing tasks.  Students will develop their research, presentation, teaching and teamwork skills, as well as learning to speak to patients and hear their individual narratives.
