    A Nottinghamshire survey found general practitioners (GPs) are motivated for continuing education, with popular content and methods. However, GPs showed low priority for research and audit techniques, indicating a need for improved training in these areas.

    Area of Science:

    • General Practice
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Existing continuing education for general practitioners (GPs) may not meet their needs in content or teaching methods.
    • A survey was conducted in Nottinghamshire to assess GP continuing education preferences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness and content of current continuing education provisions for general practitioners.
    • To identify areas for improvement in continuing medical education for GPs.

    Main Methods:

    • A postal questionnaire was sent to a sample of Nottinghamshire GPs, with follow-up using abbreviated questionnaires and interviews.
    • Data were analyzed from the main sample and non-responder subsamples.

    Main Results:

    • Section 63 courses were found to be relatively popular among GPs.

  • Two-thirds of GPs not attending Section 63 courses participated in other educational activities, indicating high motivation.
  • Current educational content and methods are generally well-received, but research and audit techniques were a low priority.

    • Conclusions:

    • General practitioners are motivated towards continuing education, with current offerings largely meeting their preferences.
    • There is a notable gap in the perceived importance of research and audit techniques within GP continuing education programs.
