Looking Back: Evaluating PBSGL in Salisbury Plain (2017) As we timetable the 100th meeting of the Salisbury Plain PBSGL group, it feels timely to revisit my first formal evaluation of the group, undertaken in 2017. At that point, PBSGL was already well established locally, but there had been little structured examination of its educational or … Continue reading PBSGL, peer support and resilience.

Making Sense of Progestogens in HRT: What I Learned When I Went Back to the Evidence
One of the areas I have found most challenging in menopause care is choosing the right progestogen. Not because options are lacking — but because there are several, each with subtly different properties, and the differences are often poorly explained in everyday practice. I realised I was not as clear as I wanted to be … Continue reading Making Sense of Progestogens in HRT: What I Learned When I Went Back to the Evidence

The link to the document is here. I had the privilege of presenting a poster of the key findings at the Wessex Educational … Continue reading Smartphone and Social Media use for CPD in Wessex
Mobile Learning and Smartphone use amongst Wessex GPs
I have finally got around to disseminating a questionnaire to the good GPs and GPSTs of Wessex to assess the use of smartphones and their use for M-learning and CPD. More to come but I have drafted an abstract of my findings below.

A Meta-Analysis of Continuing Medical Education Effectiveness (Mansouri and Lockyer 2007)
Free text from here. In trying to justify why I think PBSGL is a good way of learning, I have done a lot of literature searching and reading about how different CME interventions can change what we do as physicians. The more recent research on PBSGL has demonstrated that Small Group Learning (SGL) is associated … Continue reading A Meta-Analysis of Continuing Medical Education Effectiveness (Mansouri and Lockyer 2007)
Hall, Pippa, and Lynda Weaver. “Interdisciplinary education and teamwork: a long and winding road.” Medical education 35.9 (2001): 867-875
This article looks at education in an interdiscplinary team. Most people have heard of a multi-disciplinary team where a team of specialists (in their own right) discuss cases. Think of the MDT approach to hospital based disciplines and particualr complex cancer care.

I am finding I am being more pragmatic with patients and being realistic with outcomes. I think the main learning points for … Continue reading Chronic Pain
PBSGL Oct 14 – Post Menopausal Symptoms
An excellent discussion. Lots of areas where there was learning and confirmation of practice. There was also discussion about our role as patient advocate in 2 of the cases. Should we stop the HRT in the 74 yr old lady suddenly? What about if it was contra-indicated. Also the role of alternative medicine - if … Continue reading PBSGL Oct 14 – Post Menopausal Symptoms
