  • Understanding GP perceptions is key to optimizing educational offerings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey general practitioners' perceptions of continuing education content, methods, and current provision.
  • To identify factors influencing GP preferences for continuing education.
  • To inform improvements in continuing education for general practice.

Main Methods:

  • Follow-up interviews were conducted with both questionnaire respondents and non-respondents.
  • Data analysis combined quantitative questionnaire responses and qualitative interview insights.

    • Main Results:

    • A wide diversity of continuing education content and methods were perceived as appropriate by GPs.
    • The duration of a GP's experience significantly influenced their educational preferences.
    • Involvement in undergraduate teaching or postgraduate training also emerged as a key determinant.

    Conclusions:

    • Current continuing education provision requires critical review in light of diverse GP needs.
    • Future continuing education strategies should be tailored to reflect varying levels of experience and teaching involvement.
    • A more personalized approach to continuing professional development is recommended for general practice.
