The GP Update Handbook

Eveyone who comes on the the course is given a copy of the GP Update Handbook. The Handbook contains everything we discuss on the course and much much more.

The Handbook is a 350 page document outlining the results of the most important research relevant to primary care over the last 5 years. The Handbook covers more subjects more extensively than is possible in the one-day course and is a valuable resource document for current needs and future reference.

Being mindful of busy GPs, it is structured in such a way that you can easily see the important points without having to read the whole text; for example you can just read the 'Take home messages' in the boxes at the bottom of each topic.

The Handbook is available to purchase separately for those who cannot attend the course. Click here.

It is an extremely useful resource for medical students, and is offered at a heavily discounted price to those in full time medical education. Click on the links below to see typical pages from the printed version:
