(NB: plus individual student 500 word reflection - submitted centrally on QM+, GP tutors do not mark the 500 word reflection)
Advice given to students:
After choosing one of these themes, 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). See the following two links for previous examples from year 3 students on generalism and compassion respectively: https://sites.google.com/view/compassion-generalism/gp3-generalism
https://sites.google.com/view/compassion-generalism/gp3-compassion
You can work collaboratively in 2's or 4's to explore the theme
The presentation can relate to individual patient encounters or the themes in general.
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.
This must be accompanied by an individual student 500 word 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. Your reflection will be submitted centrally on QM+ (and share by email with the GP if they would like to read)
You will present at the tutorial at the end of the placement (confirm the date with your GP tutor) and each pair of students should present for at least 5 minutes (or if 4 students are working together they should present for 10 minutes) and then receive questions and feedback from the group/GP tutor.
