BACKGROUND
The Health and Occupation Reporting (THOR) network for general practitioners (GPs) offers free online continuing professional development (CPD) to contributing GPs. Use of this resource by members is relatively low. Non-uptake is most frequently attributed to lack of time.
AIMS
The primary aim was to assess the effects of changes made to educational material, available online to GPs participating in THOR-GP, 1 year after a needs assessment which informed the changes. The secondary aim, developed from the findings of the original study, was to compare contributing GPs who undertake work in occupational medicine, with those who do not, in terms of uptake of the educational material and of educational need.
METHODS
GPs participating in THOR-GP, who responded to a questionnaire to assess their use of THOR-GP's website for CPD, were sent a follow-up questionnaire 1 year after the original survey. Both questionnaires comprised scales derived from the syllabus for the Diploma of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine and questions about attitudes to CPD in occupational medicine.
RESULTS
No change was found in uptake of or rating of components of the website, following modification. Responders worked on average seven sessions per week in general practice and 1.5 sessions in occupational medicine. GPs working in occupational medicine reported greater confidence in some subject areas than GPs not currently working in occupational medicine and were also more likely to engage in CPD activity within the specialty of occupational medicine.
CONCLUSIONS
Undertaking work in occupational medicine increases confidence in the subject and stimulates the use of related educational facilities.
背景
全科医生健康与职业报告（THOR）网络为参与的全科医生提供免费的在线继续教育（CPD）。成员对该资源的使用相对较低。未参与的原因主要归因于缺乏时间。
目的
主要目的是评估在告知这些变化的需求评估一年后，对 THOR-GP 参与的全科医生在线提供的教育材料所做的更改的效果。第二个目标是从原始研究的结果中发展而来的，即比较从事职业医学工作的参与 THOR-GP 的全科医生和不从事职业医学工作的全科医生，在接受教育材料和教育需求方面的差异。
方法
对 THOR-GP 网站的 CPD 进行评估的问卷做出回应的 THOR-GP 参与医生，在原始调查一年后，收到了一份后续问卷。两份问卷均包含职业医学文凭课程教学大纲衍生的量表以及有关职业医学 CPD 态度的问题。
结果
在对网站的内容进行修改后，对网站内容的使用和评价均未发现变化。受访者每周平均在普通科执业七次，在职业医学方面执业 1.5 次。从事职业医学的全科医生在某些学科领域比目前不从事职业医学的全科医生更有信心，并且更有可能在职业医学专业领域内从事 CPD 活动。
结论
从事职业医学工作会增强对该学科的信心，并刺激相关教育设施的使用。
