Numbers for GPs (AM only)

He has run numerous sessions on numeracy for adults in a wide range of professions, including a workshop for GP trainers in Kent in 2025.

In this workshop, Rob Eastaway will offer a refresher on essential numeracy skills, plus mathematical tips and short cuts that will be a useful part of every GP’s toolkit.
Professor Hilary Neve
Putting threshold concepts into practice in the complex world of primary care and primary care education (AM & PM)
Threshold concepts, identified by Meyer and Land in 2003, are transformative, integrative, irreversible and key to achieving mastery of a subject. Achieving mastery takes time, as students pass through a ‘liminal space’. This often involves struggle and students may become stuck, avoid a topic or just give up.
In this interactive workshop, building on Hilary’s keynote presentation, we will explore ways of applying the threshold concept framework in our own educational settings.
Drawing on Hilary’s own and others’ research as well as their personal experiences, participants will consider
Which concepts may be threshold in primary care? How can understanding this inform our teaching?
How can we recognise where students’ learning is troublesome and how we can support them through the liminal space to achieve mastery of these crucial concepts?
