GP Update Autumn/Winter 2026-27 Live

Red Whale GP Update is trusted across UK primary care and recommended by 9.5/10 clinicians who attend. It helps you cut through guideline overload and focus on the updates that genuinely matter in practice, delivered by experienced clinicians who understand the realities of primary care.

Our GP Update focuses on practical learning you can apply immediately. Rather than overwhelming you with information, we highlight what has changed, why it matters and how it will impact your practice. 

We also use purposeful educational design, interactive formats and creative production to make the learning more engaging, memorable and impactful. Every GP Update course also includes 12 months' Red Whale Knowledge membership for continued learning.

We update our GP Update content twice a year, to ensure whichever season you join, we bring you the latest evidence, guidance and clinical priorities. We typically cover 20-30 topics per season, including new NICE guidance, common primary care presentations, prescribing updates and important developments across a wide range of topics for generalists.

So you can keep learning all year-round! Red Whale Knowledge provides trusted clinical support throughout the year. With access to over 900 fully searchable written resources you can learn from and log CPD as you go.  

At Red Whale, our clinical team do the hard work of finding, reviewing and translating the latest evidence and guidance into practical, balanced learning. We read the 700-page guideline, sift through what's changed, compare it with what we already know and the wider evidence base and use this to create key updates that are most relevant to everyday general practice.

That means you can spend less time searching and more time understanding, questioning and applying the learning to your practice. And if you want to go deeper, every topic is linked back to the source evidence.
