Description

About the MedAll Primary Care CPD Programme

We are passionate about making medical education free and more accessible. In light of the increasing financial pressures faced by healthcare professionals, including the rising cost of living and strained practice finances, we felt compelled to do something. It's why we have introduced a no-cost CPD programme for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals working in primary care. We recognise that the high expense of traditional CPD update courses is a significant barrier, and by collaborating as an entire primary care community we hope we can offer a practical, accessible alternative.

About our speaker: Georgina Elliot

Georgina, an Obstetrics and Gynaecology registrar in North West London, shares insights on miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, drawing from her extensive hospital training and experience, aiming to educate and provide support for those affected by these challenging reproductive health issues.

Who Should Join?

✅ GPs

✅ Primary care and practice nurses

✅ Practice pharmacists

✅ Other allied healthcare professionals in primary care

Note: this event is not formally accredited by an external organisation for CPD points. The current guidance for GP CPD is that it is appropriate that the credits you self-allocate should equal however many hours you spent on learning activities, as long as they are demonstrated by a reflective note on lessons learned and any changes made or planned (if applicable).

Summary

This event for General Practitioners (GPs) and Primary Care teams is designed to provide a comprehensive update on managing and understanding miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy within the primary care setting. Aimed at enhancing clinical skills, improving patient care, and fostering a deeper understanding of these sensitive conditions, the session will cover a range of critical topics. These include the background, epidemiology, and risk factors associated with miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, alongside practical guidance on assessing symptoms such as bleeding and pain in early pregnancy. Attendees will learn about the importance of timely referral to secondary care, explore management options and their associated complications, and gain insights into the challenges of counseling patients through early pregnancy loss. The event also aims to equip participants with knowledge about the common causes, investigations, treatments, and referral pathways for recurrent miscarriage, ensuring that GPs and Primary Care teams are well-prepared to support patients effectively through these challenging experiences.
