Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • General Practice
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • The 1990 contract for general practitioners significantly impacted continuing medical education (CME) provision.
  • This policy change necessitated an evaluation of its effects on doctors' educational experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine doctors' experiences with postgraduate education before and after the 1990 contract.
  • To understand doctors' preferences for the delivery of postgraduate education.

Main Methods:

  • A structured questionnaire was distributed in 1991 to 1959 doctors.
  • Data analysis included an 82% response rate, with 1523 valid responses.

Main Results:

  • 74% of respondents were entitled to study leave, a 15% increase post-contract.

  • 98% participated in postgraduate education; lectures were the preferred format (47%), while distance learning was least preferred.
  • Rural general practitioners were more likely to employ locums for study leave.

    • Conclusions:

    • Postgraduate education attendance increased post-contract, suggesting a success in provision.
    • The effectiveness of CME in improving quality of care remains uncertain.
    • Personal education plans may enhance the relevance and utility of postgraduate learning.
