That’s the message from the RCGP. NASGP member Stephanie Franz has just returned from meeting Mike Pringle, the college’s lead on revalidation. Steph was very impressed with Mike’s commitment to ensure GP locums are included in the plans, and recognises the situation we’re in. Our survey returned 178 responses from members, and you can view Steph’s summary of these comments here. Mike’s message to the NASGP is to get locums involved with developing ‘imaginative and workable’ audit projects that can be used as examples.
All very well, and we need to accept the challenge. But of course we also need to accept that to be in any way realistic this is going to require substantial funding for development and implementation and so NASGP will now need to work with the RCGP to see how our Royal College is going to implement it’s first EVER work for it’s thousands of locum GP members.
