Welcome to GP Update
Directed by Lucy Jenkins and Peter Rose, The GP Update Course is run entirely by GPs. We trawl through all the journals and do all the legwork to bring you up to speed on the latest issues, literature, research and guidelines in General Practice.
The GP Update Course and everything else we do is designed to be very relevant to clinical practice and to help you meet the requirements for your appraisal and revalidation. We make it all entertaining too - without compromising the content!
The GP Update Course is now the only one of its type to be completely free from pharmaceutical company sponsorship. This means that you can be totally reassured that there will be no biasing of the information presented to you and that there will be no reps there on the day!
