This four-part online course is aimed at GP Registrars who are new to out of hours and working towards their urgent and unscheduled care competencies. Each session will last 2 hours providing an overview of key knowledge and skills required to undertake out of hours work. Delegates must sign up to the four sessions separately (Tuesday 3 June 2025, Tuesday 17 June 2025, Tuesday 1 July 2025 and Tuesday 8 July 2025) to complete the course, however each part can be undertaken as a stand alone session. This course is very interactive and delegates are encouraged to keep their cameras on and ask questions throughout.
This course will explore some of the differences between out of hours work and daytime general practice, including remote assessment, decision-making, lack of continuity of care and limited access to the electronic medical record.
