Forthcoming Notice – The Department of General Practice proudly announces a three day international conference in the beautiful Italian City of Prato, Tuscany, 15th to 17th May, 2013.
The Skillful GP is a conference around three intertwined and related themes that will be relevant for any GP.

These themes we have referred to as the three “C’s” and are listed below:

• The Contemporary Doctor
• The Careful Doctor
• The Compassionate Doctor

The conference will deliver innovative insights to assist general practitioners to meet these challenges of modern practice.
The Contemporary Doctor theme will explore the treatment of new epidemics specifically the efficient and effective management of chronic illness.
The Careful Doctor theme will look at diagnostic and therapeutic skills (including “hands on” workshops).
The Compassionate Doctor theme will increase knowledge and expertise in mindfulness for practitioner wellbeing and sustainable performance.
