About us

Lucy Jenkins Directs the GP Update Course with Peter Rose and has been contributing to similar courses for several years, receiving excellent feedback on the content and presentation of her work.

Lucy has been a principal in practice for ten years and is responsible for the implementation of research and guidelines into her practice. She is currently the GP Trainer at her practice and is also involved in teaching medical students at Oxford University. She now does 6 sessions a week in practice and 3 sessions a week researching for the course. In the past she has had experience in Public Health, particularly with quality improvement in the NHS and getting evidence into practice.

Peter Rose has been a GP Principal for 28 years and is co Director of the GP Update Course. He has an interest in the implementation of evidence into practice and the delivery of quality care. He is also interested in all aspects of practice management. He has been a member of the team running the successful Thames Valley Faculty RCGP Management Course for 10 years and was a founding author of the successful 'Handbook of Practice Management'.

Since 2001 he has been a University Lecturer in the Department of Primary Health Care at Oxford University and has published work on family history, genetics, conjunctivitis and diagnosis and follow up of cancer in primary care. He is a Fellow at Lincoln College, Oxford, and wrote 'Practical genetics for primary care' which won the BMA book prize.

Caroline Greene is a partner at Windrush Health Centre in Oxfordshire. Caroline did extended academic training with a special interest in medical education, and as part of this, was a programme director on the Reading VTS.
