Year 4 Central Teaching

Y4 COMMUNITY GP TUTOR LED TEACHING ON HEALTH EQUITY

Various dates in 2024-25 (1.30pm – 3.30pm) – Online via MS Teams

Future health care professionals need to understand the problems of health equity at an international, national, local and individual level. This teaching will ensure that our students are familiar with these concepts, understand the factors that influence health equity and understand the role that HCPs can take in challenging these inequalities 

Each student will be put into groups of 10-12, they will be given materials such as videos, journals, policies and articles to read in the morning with tasks. In the afternoon they will meet virtually with their Community GP Tutor to discuss the mornings information. We will guide you through these discussions with lots of learning materials, PowerPoint’s and training days. Each student will have 3 sessions with a Community GP Tutor throughout his or her year.  

We ask you to sign up for a sequence of 3 sessions (so you can be allocated the same group of students)
