The Unit also empowers students to take and record a history from a patient, perform a physical examination of the main systems of the body and understand the importance of the patient perspective in diagnosing and managing patient problems.
Teaching occurs centrally on campus, as well as within the hospital and GP practice setting.
Skills & Experience
The post-holder should be an experienced, post CCT clinician, MRCGP and registered with the GMC (or equivalent) and have experience of leadership within medical education.
