Our scheme has evolved over the years. It has been a 'mixed' scheme for a decade, introducing SHO's to the concepts of general practice, while providing support and an educational base for SHO's and registrars together. We are 'learner led'- organised into three groups each facilitated by one of the course organisers. We also meet as a larger group to make use of visiting experts

We meet at the Selly Oak Postgraduate Centre for at least 30 afternoons a year. We also go on a two day residential in September, and an 'away day' in the early summer

Members of the half day release are encouraged, through study leave, to attend courses (family planning, minor surgery, child health surveillance etc) during their SHO and registrar years.
