BackgroundInformed consent is required for active participation of patients in medical education. At Keele Medical School, we require practices to advertise that they teach undergraduate students and to obtain appropriate patient consent at various stages of the patient journey.AimThe study aimed to explore patients’ experience of consent to involvement in undergraduate medical education in general practice.MethodDuring the final year at Keele University Medical School, students undertake a patient satisfaction survey. A questionnaire was attached to the reverse of this survey during the academic year 2016–2017. The questionnaire explored the stage of the patient journey consent was obtained, whether they were offered an alternative appointment and how comfortable they were with medical students being involved in their care.ResultsA total of 489 questionnaires were completed covering 62 GP practices. 97% of patients reported that consent was obtained at least once during their encounter and the majority reported that this occurred at booking. 98% of patients were comfortable or very comfortable with a medical student leading their consultation. However, 28% of those surveyed stated that they were either not given the option of not seeing the student or there was no other alternative appointment available.ConclusionThe results indicate that in the vast majority of cases patient consent is obtained at least once during their attendance. Patients expressed a high level of satisfaction with medical students’ involvement in their care. Further work is required to evaluate the role of the data as a marker of individual practice teaching quality.

Gp Training

BackgroundRecruitment into general practice is falling and many training programmes in the UK have unfilled training posts. In 2016 NHS England pledged to increase the number of graduates entering GP training to 50%. However in 2017 only 15.3% of foundation year 2 doctors commenced general practice.AimThis work aims to understand medical students’ perceptions of a career in general practice, and how this may affect their career intentions.MethodAs part of a larger, longitudinal study at four UK universities. First and fourth year students were invited to a focus group to discuss their perceptions of a career in general practice. The recordings were transcribed and content analysis was performed.ResultsThe perceptions discussed could be broadly grouped into three categories. ‘The GP’ highlighted students’ ideas of the GP as someone who was dedicated, could create rapport, and wanted a family life. The ‘Job of the GP’ indicated students were positive about the continuity of care the job offered, but felt the work was isolating and paperwork heavy. Finally, external factors such as denigration and the ‘GP land’ concept also had an impact on students’ perceptions.ConclusionFurther work is needed to understand how these perceptions develop, how this may impact students career intentions, and how this research could be used to improve GP recruitment. This data will form part of a wider longitudinal study, the results of which will be analysed for themes and personal narratives of the students.

Psychiatric Training

Choosing ten books that have most influenced my practice is an odd challenge. I wasn't one of those medical students who wanted to do psychiatry since he was 12, or read most of Freud or Jung. In fact throughout medical school, and for several years as a junior doctor, I thought psychiatry and psychiatrists were pretty weird. It was only in my general practice vocational training year that I realised how much of medicine concerned the psychological and began my psychiatric training. This influence came not through books that I read but through the patients whom I saw.
