GP Update course summary

Stay confident in your clinical practice – in just one day.

Practical, structured learning designed to help busy GPs and clinicians quickly understand what’s changed and what to do differently in practice.

 

We break down new evidence, recent guideline changes and key topics into clear, usable insights so you can make confident decisions in your next clinic.

 

Engaging, varied learning helps information stick, giving you a reliable way to refresh knowledge, reduce uncertainty and keep pace with clinical change. More than CPD, it offers a chance to feel professionally rejuvenated, restoring confidence and enthusiasm for day-to-day clinical practice.

A small splash of the topics we cover

  • Chronic heart failure: we cover the NEW NICE guidance, highlighting practice-changing updates to management
  • Inflammatory bowel disease: with the paradigm shift to newer treatments, we discuss how to support patients in primary care
  • Falls: join us to discuss applying the NICE guidance on falls: assessment and prevention
  • Chronic cough: they’re back again and still coughing! Join us for a new approach to chronic cough from the BTS
  • HIV: HIV testing highlights many health inequalities; we consider how primary care can make a difference
  • Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy: hear about updated RCOG guidance on investigation and management in primary care.
  • And lots more key clinical updates - we typically cover 20-30 topics per full-day course!

What our customers say about our courses

Helps you with keeping up to date and uses really relevant scenarios - and the resource material is so useful and easy to follow.
— Nurse, GP Update course attendee
Interesting, well-presented and put-together. The variation in how information was presented kept it interesting and references to Red Whale knowledge meant I felt I could listen instead of frantically typing notes!
— GPST, GP Update course attendee
Really useful session to keep up to date with the new guidelines. I learnt a lot and more importantly now know when to 'Red Whale it'. Loved the live session as can interact with the presenter and others.
— GP, GP Update course attendee
