Introduction

Hello and welcome to Glasgow!

If you are reading this you have signed up for this year’s RCGP pre-conference. This is the first year such an event has taken place and we anticipate that it will form an integral part of future conferences.

The pre-conference is organised jointly by the RCGP Junior International Committee (JIC), the Associates in Training (AiT) committee, and the

First5® committee and will provide an opportunity to find out more about what these groups can do for you. In addition, we aim to offer a unique forum for new and future general practitioners from around the world to come together and reflect on some of the challenges facing us all as GPs. This will in turn help participants to think beyond the confines of their consulting rooms and will provide the perfect start to an RCGP conference with the theme of Global General Practice.

As this is the first event of this kind to take place in the UK we are keen to hear your feedback at the end of the day – both on what you thought went well and perhaps what we might do differently next time. There is a feedback form at the end of this booklet and we will have spare forms to hand out on the day also.

There are several people we would like to thank for their help and support throughout this process. Antoinette Hoyte at the Royal College of General Practitioners has helped with administration. We would also like to thank staff at Profile productions, in particular Sue Elcock and Tara Everist.

Last but certainly not least, a big thank you to Dr Iona Heath, Dr Steve Mowle and Dr John Gillies for their consistent support of the JIC. It is greatly appreciated.

And finally... an apology. Sorry about the weather! (This is actually quite good for Glasgow...)

We hope you enjoy the pre-conference! (and do join us for the meal afterwards – see page 9 for details... yum yum)

2012 Pre-conference organisers


Welcome to overseas participants

We would like to extend a special welcome to all those participants who have travelled from far and wide to attend the conference here in Glasgow.

In particular, there are 20 participants from all over Europe who are here as part of the annual Vasco da Gama/Junior International Committee Exchange programme. 15 of these delegates will attend the preconference and 5 will take part in the Society of Academic Primary Care events. They can easily be recognised by looking out for badges corresponding to their country of origin. Please make an effort to talk to these delegates as much can be learned from shared experiences of different systems of general practice.

The Vasco da Gama movement is the WONCA Europe Working group for early career (GPs within 5 years of qualification as a GP) and future General Practitioners (GP trainees). The movement is the continuation of the work that was started during the first preconference meeting for junior doctors during the WONCA Europe Conference in Amsterdam in 2004.

The ideals were set down in a meeting in January 2005 in Lisbon, the home port of Vasco da Gama, from where he set out on a similar voyage of discovery, and for this reason his name has been applied to the movement. It was formally launched at the Kos WONCA Europe Conference in September 2005.

One of the most successful activities of VdGM is the Hippokrates Exchange Programme. This international exchange programme offers an opportunity to visit or host a GP in another participating country for two weeks. The Hippokrates programme has been running for around 10 years in Europe and is now growing to incorporate the emerging junior WONCA networks across the world.

The Leonardo da Vinci Mobility Scheme is part of the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme, which funds many different types of activities of varying scales. In 2010 the UK and Slovenia were the first countries to successfully be awarded funding for outgoing Hippokrates participants. In 2011 the Czech Republic and Austria have been awarded Leonardo Funding and are currently selecting applicants to participate. In 2012 Leonardo Funding has been granted to Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland and UK. The UK is now accepting applications for exchanges that will take place in 2013. If you are interested please see http://tiny.cc/ukleonardo for further details and an application form.

Pre-conference

The pre-conference offers a unique opportunity for participants to:

• Meet new UK and international colleagues.

• Explore what “Global General Practice” means and debate the changing role of GPs beyond the consulting room.

• Learn more about and get involved with the RCGP AiT, First5® and JIC committees.

• Warm up for the conference, or get a taster if you cannot make it to the main conference.

Aims

The aims of the pre-conference are:

• To raise awareness of the roles of the RCGP AiT, First5® and JIC committees.

• To consider some of the key challenges of “Global General Practice” and how trainee and First5 GPs – the future leaders of general practice – can contribute to addressing them.

• To meet fellow new and future GPs from the UK and across Europe and to develop professional links and personal friendships that will develop throughout the conference and beyond.


Who’s involved?

To make things a little clearer for all concerned, we asked the current Chairs of the three groups involved in the pre-conference to introduce their groups.

Associates in Training (AiTs)

Associates in Training (AiTs) are the trainee GP members of the Royal College of General Practitioners. With 10, 000 AiTs we represent roughly a quarter of the total RCGP membership. Our committee gives AiTs a voice in the development of policy and future initiatives in relation to GP training and membership. The committee is made up of a representative from each deanery within the GP training system. Both the chair and vice-chair hold a seat on RCGP Council – the national decision-making body within the College.

We aim to help AiTs establish a relationship with the College during their training through membership benefits such as the InnovAiT journal, annual conference and MRCGP exams. AiTs are also supported by their trainer and local training schemes. At the end of GP training many AiTs find they want ongoing support – we aim to help by facilitating the transition from AiT to First5®.

Ben Brown, AiT Vice-Chair

First5®

The first years after training can be a difficult time for new GPs who find themselves in the ever-changing world of modern general practice and the new independent practitioner may feel vulnerable and isolated.

In recognition of this situation, the concept of First5® was developed in 2008/9 as a way for the RCGP to support new GPs through those crucial first five years up to the first point of revalidation.

The pillars of First5® are:

• Connecting - Promoting a sense of belonging and appropriate representation for the First5 cohort within the College

• Facilitating Networks - Encouraging peer support and mentoring through the development of local networks

mailto:[email protected]

• Supporting revalidation

• Career mentorship - Career mentorship – making the most of a career in general practice

• Continuous professional development (CPD) and new skills

The regional faculty structure is the local face of the RCGP and offers opportunities for peer support, educational events and local representation. Central RCGP will continue to offer effective leadership and representation within the wider health service which represents the interests of all its members including those in the First5® cohort.

Junior International Committee (JIC)

The JIC's vision is to inspire a global approach to primary health care. We currently carry out a number of activities towards this common goal. These include developing links and projects with international healthcare organisations, providing a global health perspective to GP education and training, supporting and developing involvement in primary care research internationally and facilitating opportunities in international exchange. Through our image team we also aim to provide a hub for information and discussion on international topics relevant to AiTs and First5®s.

It is clear that there is a particular momentum for developing interest and activity in global health issues within the young doctors of the UK. As the JIC we hope to be able to harness and develop this momentum, whilst building on the already significant achievements of our team since starting in 2009.

Pre-conference Programme 2012


What do we mean by “Global Health”?

The theme of this year's RCGP conference is “Global general practice”, but this may mean different things to different people in different contexts.

In an attempt to shed some light on this area, we present a framework for thinking about global health – within which global general practice is set – as outlined in a recent Lancet article.

“There is not yet consensus on a definition of global health, but certain key concepts underpin a global health approach: transnationalism, with national borders increasingly porous to disease, migration, and trade; holism and interdisciplinarity, taking a broad approach that includes subjects beyond the health sciences, such as law and international relations; interdependence and interconnectedness, recognising that global health threats are relevant to richer and poorer countries and can be tackled only through collaboration; and an emphasis on understanding inequalities between and within countries.” [from Johnson et al. Global health learning outcomes for medical students in the UK. Lancet 2012; 379: 2033]

Proposed global health learning outcomes for undergraduates (as above, from Lancet 2012; 379: 2033)

Global burden of disease

1) Discuss communicable and non-communicable disease at the global level

2) Discuss the impact of international travel and migration on the diseases seen in the UK

3) Discuss the causes and control of global epidemics

Socio-economic and environmental determinants of health

4) Demonstrate awareness of the non-clinical determinants of health, including social, political, economic, environmental, and gender disparities

5) Examine how health can be distributed unequally within and between populations in relation to socially defined measures

6) Describe how the environment and health interact at the global level

Health systems

7) Discuss the essential components of a health system, using the WHO model


8) Recognise that health systems are structured and function differently across the globe

9) Recognise that the NHS has an international workforce and explain the impact of this within the UK and overseas

10) Examine the causes and scale of inequalities in health workforce distribution

Global health governance

11) Demonstrate awareness of the complexity of global health governance, including the roles of international organisations, the commercial sector, and civil society

12) Discuss the role of WHO as the international representative body of national governments for health

13) Discuss how health-related research is conducted and governed globally

Human rights and ethics

14) Respect the rights and equal value of all people without discrimination and provide compassionate care for all

15) Examine how international legal frameworks impact on health-care delivery in the UK

16) Discuss and critique the concept of a right to health

17) Describe the particular health needs of vulnerable groups and migrants

18) Discuss the role of doctors as advocates for their patients, including the importance of prioritising health needs over other concerns and adhering to codes of professional conduct

Cultural diversity and health

19) Demonstrate understanding that culture is important and may influence behaviour, while acknowledging the dangers of assuming that those from a particular social group will behave in a certain way

20) Communicate effectively with people from different ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds, where necessary using external help

21) Work effectively with colleagues from different ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds


Relevant events during the main conference As noted, the theme of the main conference this year is Global General Practice. This will be a celebration of best practice in the healthcare services delivered in the UK, and an opportunity for colleagues to learn about innovative practice in other parts of the world.We have hand-picked a few sessions from the main RCGP conference that may be of interest. But first, here is an introduction to the JIC stand.

JIC standWelcome to the JIC stand! This is the perfect conference to gain insight into worldwide experiences in primary healthcare. And the JIC stand is the ideal place to really find out what this means. Throughout the conference, the JIC stand is hosting a series of mini presentations delivered by doctors from over 8 different countries. These will cover details of different healthcare systems - including the role of the family doctor, models for general practice training and direct experiences of primary care. The structure of the presentations will favour debate and discussion, allowing for unique opportunity to really get to grips with similarities and differences in practice. This is also a focal opportunity to form professional, educational and personal international links with like-minded practitioners. Please see the timetable at the stand for further details. Other opportunities at the stand include:• Finding out more about young doctors’ experiences of primary care in

the UK.• Finding out more about the Hippokrates Exchange programme, the

Vasco da Gama Movement and how to get involved.• Meeting doctors who have undertaken Out of Programme Experience

and explore some of the structured and independent opportunities available for doing so.

• Finding out the details of Leonardo funded exchanges and how to apply.

• And finding out how the JIC can help you start your journey!We look forward to seeing you.Anna Romito, JIC Image Deputy, GP in LondonWebsite: www.facebook.com/RCGP JIC
