There is need for a greater connection between General Practice and GP trainees in their hospital component of training. Currently, in Scotland, there are no national education programmes specifically designed for GP trainees during their hospital component of training. Our aim was to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a national online 'bitesize' education programme delivered live for GP trainees in their hospital component of training. The study also aims to assess the barriers to attending these teaching sessions and whether they made trainees feel more connected to General Practice. Weekly one hour 'Bitesize' teaching sessions, delivered virtually, were organised by NHS Education for Scotland (NES) GP Medical Education Fellows during a four-week period. Eligible attendees were GP trainees (GPST1s and GPST2s) working in the hospital component of their training. An end of program questionnaire, gathering quantitative and qualitative data, was used for evaluation. There was a strong support for this programme from the attendance numbers and the questionnaire feedback responses, with GP trainees feeling more in touch with general practice and more confident in managing primary care focused topics. GP trainees agreed that a weekly, one-hour, online lunchtime session suits them. The most common barrier to attendance were work commitments and conflicts with local teaching. This pilot has emphasised the need for a structured teaching programme for GP trainees in the hospital component of training.
需要加强普通科医生和在医院接受培训的普通科实习医生之间的联系。目前，苏格兰没有专门为在医院接受培训的普通科实习医生设计的国家教育计划。我们的目的是开发和评估为在医院接受培训的普通科实习医生提供的全国性在线“小块”教育计划的可行性。该研究还旨在评估参加这些教学课程的障碍，以及它们是否使实习医生感到与普通科联系更紧密。由苏格兰国家卫生服务教育（NES）普通科医学教育研究员组织的每周一小时的虚拟“小块”教学课程在四周内进行。符合条件的参加者是在培训的医院部分工作的普通科实习医生（GPST1 和 GPST2）。使用结束课程问卷收集定量和定性数据进行评估。从参加人数和问卷反馈来看，该计划得到了强烈支持，普通科实习医生表示与普通科联系更紧密，在处理以初级保健为重点的主题方面更有信心。普通科实习医生同意每周一小时的在线午餐时间课程适合他们。参加的最常见障碍是工作承诺和与当地教学的冲突。该试点强调了在医院接受培训的普通科实习医生需要有一个结构化的教学计划。
