What is Primary Care course
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions account for up to 40% of primary care consultations in England.
By the end of the session you should be able to:
- Describe the roles and responsibilities of the GP in the health system
- Identify what is distinctive about GPs and their changing workload
- State how primary care fits in to the rest of the health system
- Identify the historical and emerging challenges facing primary care
- Explain how these are being and could be addressed in future
The following sessions will help clinicians embarking on a career within primary care to assess, treat and manage undiagnosed and undifferentiated MSK conditions often associated with co-morbidities which add further complexity to patient care.
General Practice was my first love in medicine and I spent 26 years as a partner in a practice in Romsey, Hampshire. A career in Sports Medicine and MSK grew alongside this and eventually flourished in a large MSK intermediate care service (Orthopaedic Choice) in West Hampshire. I have managed to keep both elements of my career going and to develop an educational role in MSK for GPs, trainees, medical students and others.
