Background Information
Mediconf UK runs high Quality Medical Education Programmes for GPs and Practice Nurses throughout the UK.It has been established since 2007 and last year trained over 2000 Primary Care Health Professionals.
Our Events are usually free or heavily subsidized by the Pharmaceutical Industry in accordance with ABPI Ethical Guidelines.
The GPs and Practice Nurses find the Educational Events valuable and are provided with certificates which are used in their Appraisal Portfolios as evidence of Continuing Professional Development.
The Events
Our events are usually held on a saturday morning. Attendances are usually very good with around 70 to 100 delegates expected to come. Although saturdays may seem an unusual day, a lot of delegates can attend, as they have no commitments in the surgery. Furthermore, because the event only involves the morning, the rest of the weekend is still available for rest and recreation.
Our Speakers
Speakers tend to be Consultants/Clinical Nurse Specialists or GPSI’s.
They enjoy teaching and can communicate well to Primary Health Care Professionals in a clear and practical way
As these Events are attended by Generalists’ rather than Specialists, it is important to keep the presentations relevant to General Practice and deal with practical day to day management problems rather than highly specialized aspects of clinical practice, of more relevance to Secondary Care Clinicians.
The Presentations
The presentations are usually from 60 to 90 mins in duration
We encourage a lecture perhaps of 30mins and then try to encourage the audience to be interactive by the following methods
• Clinical Case Discussion
• Question and Answer Sessions
• Clinical Quizzes
The Emphasis is always on making the topics relevant to everyday Primary Care
