This book is designed to help GPs with reflective learning, appraisals and revalidation. To make this process more interesting, the authors have provided: range of videos to watch they are meant to be humorous, but a also address serious issues poems to read believe it or not, they can be useful xercises to work through and thought-provoking questions e to consider These videos, poems and exercises make the whole area of professional development more accessible, more relevant, and a lot more fun (theyve even thrown in a few jokes ...). GPs all need to reflect on the way we practise and deal with our patients; they all have to undergo annual appraisals; and soon all GPs have to be revalidated. All these stages of continued development will be easier with this workbook. Includes a DVD of 13 short films starring Dr Hairy (of YouTube fame). In his own inimitable (if somewhat irreverent) style, he tackles a wide range of topical issues.
