Conscious Competence
An increasing number of trainees seem to be taking the CSA too early or more importantly too early for them. How can we advise them when it is an appropriate time to take the exam with supporting evidence? This masterclass will be revisiting the conscious competence model and exploring it in greater depth. I will also be exploring the concept of active headspace and how a modular approach to preparation for the CSA may help.

This is a one-day masterclass in which we aim to maximise the potential of the GP Trainee E-Portfolio for the learner and the trainer. We hope that by the end of the day you will have a greater understanding of how the portfolio works and will be better able to use it to support your trainee.
The masterclass is particularly aimed at those trainers who are new to using the TeP or for those trainers who find they struggle to use the tool effectively.

Group Skills
Designed to help doctor’s lead small groups with care and confidence
The course is based on the wealth of group leadership experience now available in print and from the personal experience of the course leaders.
The course seeks to explore how groups work, what helps and hinders them, what you could do if they go wrong and what you can do to prevent them going wrong. It is open to GPs within the Health Education North West. It is likely to appeal to all doctors who are active (or wish to be involved) in medical education, particularly in Primary Care Medical Educator and Programme Director roles.
By a combination of group work and pre-course reading we aim to give you the essentials to lead small groups carefully and confidently so that all may benefit. Course materials will be provided on-line which will also include material on presentation skills, as well as further recommended reading The course includes opportunities to plan and deliver sessions with supportive feedback. In addition the course will offer an opportunity within the programme for educators to share experiences and identify their educational needs and explore how to manage problems in groups. Feedback from previous courses has been extremely positive.

Health Education North West has been running HPE Courses for 19 years.
The primary aim of this course is to allow participants to meet with colleagues at a similar stage of their career to share good practice and support each other in their professional development.
We plan to cover many and varied subjects, as well as working together in groups of eight or nine to develop skills in areas such as leadership, negotiation and assertiveness. We will also explore Commissioning and Revalidation.
The course is available to all newly qualified GPs in the first 5 years after completion of training in addition to all post CCT fellows. Places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis but we will endeavour to meet the demand.
The course will be fully funded by NHS Health Education North West and you can attend all modules or select the ones that most suit your educational needs.
There is also the opportunity for participants who have completed 5 days to obtain academic accreditation through UCLan (subject to successfully completing a written assignment).
There is no additional HPE funding available to support alternative courses or education events this year.
