Introduction
HOT TOPICS
GP Update Course, the Netherlands
The Hot Topics course is the premier course for GPs in the UK and Ireland, and PAO Heyendael
and NB Medical are delighted to bring the course to the Netherlands in collaboration with
the department of Primary Health Care of the Radboud university medical center. It is the
most popular course for GPs in the UK, receives outstanding feedback and is attended by
over 10,000 GPs a year. It is a one day course which updates GPs with all the latest evidence,
guidelines and developments from the international literature and gives them the resources
to practise evidence-based medicine in a very time efficient way. Evidence-based medicine
could not be more fun: the course is up-tempo, full of humour, very dense in take home
messages. It is ‘different’!
The course provides:
•A series of short, engaging presentations presenting the most recent findings which will
have an impact on clinical practice
•A detailed 350 page book summarising the evidence for over 100 conditions commonly
seen in primary care
•A Dutch add-on to the book which comments on the topics presented in relation to the
actual guideline advice (NHG-standaarden).
•An electronic, instantly searchable PDF version of the book which is hyper-linked to the
original sources and patient resources
•Free additional access for one year to the CPD site http://www.nb-learning.com/
The course will be led by Dr Simon Curtis and Dr Zoe Ballantyne of NB Medical Education. For

‘I attended the Hot Topics course this weekend and just wanted to say it was brilliant again. Don’t feel so guilty about that pile of journals as I learned so much.’
