Notice Information

Notice Title

How lifelong learning for doctors is valued, managed and supported in the UK

Notice Description

This research aims to help the General Medical Council to understand the way lifelong learning including Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for doctors in the UK is valued, managed and supported by those directly involved: employers of doctors; those who contract doctors' services and self-employed doctors. We are interested in understanding the details of the processes used, for example to prioritise, provide access, and fund/commission lifelong learning for different groups of doctors across the UK. We also would like to understand key stakeholders' perspectives on the value of lifelong learning and how well in their perspective the current situation works. We would be interested in understanding whether anything in the UK has changed in the approach to lifelong learning as a result of the response to COVID-19.
