Speakers
Professor Fiona Patterson
BSc, MSc, PhD, C.Psychol., FRCGP
Director, Work Psychology Group, University of Cambridge
Fiona is a director of the Work Psychology Group and principal researcher
at the University of Cambridge. She is also an honorary professor in
Medical Education at the University of Nottingham and remains a visiting
professor at City University London where she previously held a chair in
Organisational Psychology.
Fiona’s research in medical selection focuses on GP selection and is now a
well established long-term research programme. Her programme of
research uniquely involves the development of theoretical models of
important non-cognitive attributes and skills required by doctors (such as
empathy, communication and integrity) and the related design, implementation and validation of assessment methodologies. Fiona’s activities have
provided evidence for the introduction of innovative selection methodologies in medical selection such as situational judgement tests (SJT) and
selection centres.

GP TUTORS’ ANNUAL
CONFERENCE 2013
GP Teaching: New Directions in
Assessment & Technology
Professor Roger Kneebone
PhD, FRCS, FRCSEd, FRCGP
Professor of Surgical Education, Imperial College London
Roger trained first as a general surgeon, working both in the UK and in
Southern Africa. He then became a family physician, working in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. In the 1990s he developed an innovative national training
programme for minor surgery within primary care, using simulated tissue
models and a computer-based learning program. In 2003, Roger joined
Imperial College London where he now directs the UK’s only Masters in
Education (M Ed) in Surgical Education.
Roger’s research focuses on contextualisation of clinical learning. He has
developed innovative approaches to learning invasive clinical procedures,
where models are attached to simulated patients to create safe yet realistic
learning environments. His current research involves lightweight, low-cost
yet immersive clinical settings for training and assessment; his multidisciplinary research team has developed an ‘inflatable operating theatre’ which
opens up new perspectives on simulation. Roger also uses highfidelity simulations to research the impact of stress upon surgical
performance under controlled conditions.

Workshops: Morning
11.15 - 12.45
Assessment
M1: Enhancing feedback on workplacebased Assessments
Alex Nesbitt, Lyndon James, Freya Baird &
Andrew Pitcher
This workshop will present the findings of a student-led research project
evaluating written feedback on workplace based assessments. We will
discuss what constitutes effective feedback from the student and tutor
points of view and will set these discussions in context with our findings and
the research literature. Finally, we will discuss how best to deliver effective
feedback in the primary care setting so that it may form a valuable component of the undergraduate educational experience and supervised learning
events.
M2: Works-place based Assessments
Programme
Friday 26th April 2013
9.00 - 9.45
Registration {Atrium}
9.45 - 10.00 Welcome & Introduction
Dr Joe Rosenthal &
Dr Sophie Park
10.00 - 10.45 New directions for assessing
non-academic attributes using
situational judgement tests?
Professor Fiona Patterson
10.45 - 11.00 Social networking: Technology
& Professionalism
Dr Zaid Al-Najjar {MPS}
Dr Gavin Johnson
This workshop on workplace based assessment will bring you up to date
with the latest educational theory on WPBA; how you evaluate the utility of a
WPBA; and how they can be used effectively to support learning in trainees.
11.00 - 11.15 Tea & Coffee {Atrium}
M3: Simulating Reality? Assessing Fiction?
12.45 - 13.45 Lunch & iBSc SIG {Atrium}
Mr Michael Klingenberg & Ms Deirdre Wallace
In this workshop we will introduce delegates to some of the methods and
equipment we use at UCL medical school to simulate the healthcare environment. The workshop is designed to tease out potential advantages and
disadvantages of high to “very-very low” fidelity simulation in terms of practicality, feasibility and validity for the education of today’s students and tomorrow’s doctors.
M4: Electronic portfolios
Dr Will Coppola
E-portfolios are increasingly becoming part of everyone's working life, in
both personal and supervisory roles. This workshop will look at some of the
opportunities and educational strengths that these systems offer, together
with the challenges that inevitably arise. We will look at examples, and in
particular at the new UCL E-portfolio used by medical students.

Technology
A1: How does the electronic patient record
shape practice?
Dr Deborah Swinglehurst
This workshop will consider the use of the electronic patient record. In particular it will explore the role of structured templates in shaping interactions
between clinician and patient. Implications for your own practice and teaching will be considered.
A2: The Electronic Prescription Service
Release 2 (EPRSR2): impact on interactions
in the consultation.
Dr Fiona Stevenson
Prescribing is a central activity in health care. The Electronic Prescription
Service Release 2 (EPSR2) allows prescriptions to be sent electronically to
a pharmacy nominated by the patient, eliminating the need for a paper prescription. It is currently being implemented across England. This workshop
will consider the potential effects on interactions in the GP consultation of
the implementation of the EPSR2. Delegates will consider the role of a
paper prescription, beyond a statement of treatment, and thus the potential
effects of this proposed change on consultations in English general practice.
A3: Hi-fidelity simulation
Dr Caroline Pelletier & Dr Sophie Park
This workshop will consider the potential implications of simulation in learning using a psycho-analytic perspective. In particular, we will focus upon the
process of using medical knowledge in practice (and the related uncertainties which this might involve) to consider how we structure and perceive
reality (or "fantasy") in clinical and teaching practice. This 'fantasy' might be
understood as a response to anxiety or uncertainty in practice and defence
against this. How for example, can the body be treated as having causal
pathologies; or doctors get confirmation of their known capacities in terms of
'patient' outcomes?
A4: Mobile technologies for teaching and
learning
Ms Ruth Muscat
Mobile technologies, in the form of smartphones, tablets and e-readers, are
increasingly ubiquitous. This workshop will explore how medical students are
using mobile technologies to support their learning and early practice, and
will provide participants with the opportunity to explore a number of popular
apps for different purposes, including: 1. Accessing full-text evidence at the
bedside. 2. Accessing email on the move. 3. Accessing VLEs. 4. Digital note
-taking and annotating. 5. Clinical tools and calculators. We will also discuss
some of the barriers and challenges associated with mobile technologies in
the context of teaching, learning and clinical practice.
