A study was undertaken to investigate the number of doctors attending postgraduate education courses outwith their own region. During the one year study period general practitioners from the west of Scotland obtained 2262.0 half-day sessions accredited for the postgraduate education allowance from 335 different courses outwith their region and 10 different distance learning programmes. Four hundred and thirteen doctors from the west of Scotland region (22.6%) attended courses in other areas and 85 doctors (4.6%) participated in 258.6 half-days of distance learning. More than half of the education sessions (56.0%) were in the category of disease management. Sixty four doctors (3.5%) attended 10 or more half-day sessions outwith their region. Almost half the courses were in England and 32.5% of courses were in south east Scotland. Over the same period 122 doctors outwith the area attended 263 different courses in the west of Scotland region. Despite concern regarding the removal of travel and subsistence contributions for postgraduate education activities, general practitioners are attending education courses outwith their region.
一项研究旨在调查在其所在地区以外参加研究生教育课程的医生数量。在为期一年的研究期间，苏格兰西部的全科医生从其所在地区以外的335门不同课程和10种不同的远程学习项目中获得了2262.0个半天的研究生教育津贴认证课程。来自苏格兰西部地区的413名医生（22.6%）在其他地区参加了课程，85名医生（4.6%）参加了258.6个半天的远程学习。超过一半的教育课程（56.0%）属于疾病管理类别。64名医生（3.5%）在其所在地区以外参加了10个或更多半天的课程。几乎一半的课程在英格兰，32.5%的课程在苏格兰东南部。同期，该地区以外的122名医生在苏格兰西部地区参加了263门不同的课程。尽管对取消研究生教育活动的差旅费和生活津贴存在担忧，但全科医生仍在其所在地区以外参加教育课程。
