Numbers for GPs (AM only)
Rob Eastaway is an author, broadcaster and speaker with a particular interest in the maths of everyday life. His books include the best-selling Maths on the Back of an Envelope and Why Do Buses Come In Threes? He is a frequent guest on BBC Radio 4’s award-winning podcast More or Less. 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.
GPs have to use a range of mathematical skills as part of the daily routine, from basic budgeting to assessing and communicating the relative risks of different treatments. 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?

From NICE to ChatGPT: How Does Technology Shape Medical Students Learning on GP Placements? (PM only)
This session explores how medical students use digital tools in general practice placements, and how these tools actively shape self-regulated learning and clinical reasoning. Drawing on the findings from a student-led intercalated BSc Primary Care research project, we present insights into how students use resources such as guidelines, apps, and AI tools before, during, and after patient consultations.
We examine how technology supports preparation for clinical encounters, navigating uncertainty in real time, and consolidating learning afterwards.
The session will include:
A brief presentation of key findings from the qualitative study
A practical activity exploring real-world scenarios of technology use in GP placements
Small-group discussions on opportunities, risks, and implications for educators and supervisors
