Community Care
Students spend six weeks full time on a General Practice placement.
Our overall aim is "to help all students to become better doctors, irrespective of their current career preference or eventual career choice". We also aim to provide an introduction to General Practice and Primary Care in all its facets, and to help students experience Independent Practice whilst learning good medicine in that context. These General Practice placements are an integral and compulsory part of the curriculum.
Students will attend a Practice in groups of two. Occasionally some students may attend a Practice on their own. There are two centrally based plenary days on the first Monday (or Tuesday, if a Bank Holiday is involved), and the last Friday of the six weeks. These are the 'Intro Day' and 'Closing Day' respectively. Students will experience and learn about the involvement of all those working in Community Based Healthcare including Primary Healthcare Nursing Teams, Community Pharmacists, Home Nursing, and Community Rehabilitation.
They will be required to attend a session at a Primary Care Out of Hours Centre, and a session at a Hospice. Otherwise students are required to attend your Practices every day except for Wednesday afternoons, which is the School's protected sports time. This may be negotiated with the student if appropriate. Time off in lieu of attendance at the Out of Hours centre should be negotiated with the student.
The students learn through a variety of activities at the Practice including Student Surgery sessions, Professional Shadowing, Self Directed Learning sessions, Tutorial sessions, and attendance at relevant meetings. Assessments include two Mini-CEXs, a Case Reflective Piece and Discussion, a Complex Care Plan, and a join Practice Based Project. Students are also assessed on their professionalism and overall performance during the placement.
Central Plenary Day teaching comprises lectures on Public Health, Occupational Health, Clinical Leadership, and Ethical considerations. This is coupled with workshops covering clinical scenarios, and ethics in action. As part of the 'Closing Day' we also facilitate a Mock OSCE Clinical Skills sessions to support students in preparation for their Finals Examinations.
Further information about the placement can be found in the Year 5 Community Care Handbook which is available on the QMPlus Tutor site. You may wish to review this before the your students join you.
