INTRODUCING THE WISDOM COURSE

 

General Practitioner (GP) roles are changing and so is the range of professional skills required for modern practice. Frequently GPs encounter problems that aren’t answered by clinical guidelines, existing research evidence or even medicine. WISDOM aims to provide clinicians with the skills and confidence to find, create and use knowledge to make complex decisions about problems faced in everyday practice.

​

Through the course, we will focus on the distinct knowledge work skills used by GPs to deliver whole-person centred, expert generalist medicine (see animation below). We’ll discuss how to approach some of the biggest challenges you face in your daily practice, including overdiagnosis and polypharmacy, whilst considering how you can make best use of wider psychological and community approaches to supporting people with illness.

​

By sharing our vision for tomorrow’s doctor, today, we aim to provide you with the skills and confidence to develop your own professional practice and be a catalyst for change to help re-energise our profession. Follow the link below to sign up!
