Please work as a group (2's or 4's) and deliver a 5-10minute presentation on one of the following topics on the date that your tutor confirms:
1) Generalism or 2) Compassionate practice
You may choose to consider the head, hand and heart of practice:
a) what you have seen and experienced in general practice (hand)
b) the literature (head)
c) exploring your understanding through creative enquiry approaches (heart)
You may find previous examples from year 3 students helpful: GP3 Generalism or GP3 Compassion
The presentation can relate to individual patient encounters or the themes in general, and you can choose any medium to best present your thoughts and findings from power point posters, to short films, photographs, prose or poetry writing etc. You will receive questions and feedback from the group/GP tutor.
NB: plus individual student 500 word (+/- 10%) reflection relating to your learning on the subject and reflection on the process of presenting, and your creative piece, +/- reflections on your whole GP placement. This should be submitted via email to GP Tutors in the penultimate week of the placement, and submitted centrally on QMPlus by the end of the placement. Please click here to see a self-reflection template for you to use as a guide.
