Medical publisher the BMJ Group, UK, has announced that BMJ Learning and BMJ Quality are launching new tools to add to the support and learning it already offers to doctors and other healthcare professionals worldwide.
The end of 2012 saw the introduction of revalidation for all doctors in the UK meaning every clinician will have to show that they have taken the necessary steps needed to stay up to date in their area of practice. As such, BMJ Learning is now offering four new podcasts modules for those working in primary care, secondary care and appraisers, plus an interview with Professor Sir Peter Rubin, Chair of the General Medical Council.
Developed by practising healthcare professionals, the new BMJ Quality Improvement Programme makes it simple for anyone to carry out a healthcare improvement project. Providing an online workbook with step-by-step guidance through the improvement journey, users have the option of working on their own project or a pre-written project on an area such as COPD, diabetes and dementia. Included in the programme are over 20 learning resources, case examples and an on-call faculty of experts available to support users through their project and publication journey.
All BMJ Group resources regarding revalidation are now available online. News articles about the subject, links to podcasts, learning modules and doc2doc discussions on revalidation can all be found at http://revalidation.bmj.com
