    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Healthcare Quality Improvement

    Background:

    • Continuing professional development is crucial for general practitioners.
    • Medical audit is a recognized tool for quality assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the application of medical audit in general practitioner continuing education.
    • To establish guidelines for peer-group medical audit education.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of medical audit's role in continuing education.
    • Proposal of rules for conducting peer-group educational sessions.

    Main Results:

    • The study identified potential uses of medical audit for GP training.
    • An inability to evaluate the educational impact was noted due to participant non-compliance with re-auditing.
