e-GP: the RCGP’s new e-learning resource

e-GP is an ambitious and award winning educational project run by the RCGP and e-Learning for Healthcare. e-GP aims to develop a comprehensive programme of e-learning modules to support GP training and professional development.

		e-GP has won a silver award for ‘excellence in the production of learning content - public sector’ at the 2010 e-Learning Age awards. The judges citation reads: ‘The e-Learning for General Practice (e-GP) educational suite helps train GPs and supports experienced GPs. The comprehensive media-rich programme takes a problem-based approach, with interactive exercises. Engaging and challenging virtual consultations present problem-based scenarios to help develop core skills. Learners are prompted to reflect critically on what they have learned, the educational process they have undertaken, their further learning needs and how to meet them. As of June 2010, over 30,000 sessions had been completed, with an average user rating of 74%".
