A word on confidentiality • Sensitive issues • Personal, professional and institutional pride • Put aside • Charter House Rules • General conclusions shared • Any other ground rules?
Opportunity? In the last two years complaints have led to: • Targeted retraining for practices • Development of good practice materials to be shared on our website • Development of a training session for GPs who consult in a language other than English • Improved transport facilities for students • Improved support materials for GPs • Improved student experience • Students complaining less – but what does that mean?
Threat? • 3 practices removed from teaching. • 1 practice acquired unfair reputation for being a poor practice. • Students not fully aware of actions which are taken.
Pain in the Neck? • No pain no gain
