## Notice

The HEE Primary and Integrated Care Team aims to procure services from a supplier providing access to authentic, full length general practice consultations, forming a comprehensive educational resource for primary care teaching, which have been specifically selected, produced, and edited for training purposes. The consultations should be tagged for postgraduate clinical and educational content and be supported by learning points, discussion points and links to further reading and theory. This is for an extension of the 12-month pilot for an additional 12-month period across several local offices (there are 11 local offices/GP Schools in total) with around 1100 doctors in training plus their educators. HEE will then evaluate the pilot to inform future commissioning requirements for future years.
