Project Title: Clinical learning in primary care

Supervisors:  

Professor Carolin Kreber (Moray House School of Education)
& Professor Allan Cumming (School of Medicine)

Research topic:

The research is a case study of a single GP teaching practice in Yorkshire. The case study explores clinical learning within the practice from a perspective of professionals, those in vocational clinical training and from transient learners such as medical students. Data has been collected from interviews with these groups over the course of an academic year, and backed up with data from observation and documents. Findings will be put in the context of other studies on clinical learning in primary care, and learning in comparable contexts from both inside and outside medicine.
