CSQTC’s Inaugural PGPP Program Practice and Hospital Engagement Workshop 2013

The Prevocational General Practice Placements (PGPP) Program enables hospital based junior doctors to experience a rotation in general practice as part of their hospital training.  CSQTC currently works with ten hospitals and twenty one training practices in our region to deliver the PGPP program. CSQTC recently held a Practice and Hospital Engagement Workshop for our stakeholder organisations involved in delivering the Prevocational General Practice Placements (PGPP) program.  The purpose of this workshop was to gain input and assistance from our stakeholders in identifying and prioritising the key areas we need to address in the future to ensure quality educational outcomes continue to be delivered to the many Junior Doctors now participating in the program. Find out more about the workshop here.
