1Bulford MTF, Defence Primary Healthcare, Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK.
Introduction:
Practice-Based Small Group Learning (PBSGL) is a system for continuing professional development introduced into Wessex Region Defence Primary Healthcare (DPHC) as the Salisbury Plain PBSGL group in 2012. This is a mixed intraprofessional group comprising general practitioners (GPs), GP trainers, general practice specialist registrars (GPSTs) and general duties medical officers (GDMOs).
Methods:
An anonymised online questionnaire and thematic analysis was undertaken to assess the educational impact of PBSGL in such a mixed-role group reflecting military general practice.
Results:
A positive effect of PBSGL was demonstrated and further enhanced by the intraprofessional composition. Positive peer support effects were demonstrated for all members of the cohort regardless of role.
Conclusion:
PBSGL is an essential pillar for supporting all doctors working within DPHC. Further qualitative evaluation of cohorts of GDMOs, GPSTs and mixed-role groups as well as the development of standardised questionnaires is recommended.

Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
