Professional Development for Appraisal and Revalidation: The Dr Hairy Workbook David Hindmarsh (GP Trainer in Kent, UK)
Here's a snippet of what the judges said:
This book is outstanding, original and will provoke the viewer of the DVDs and reader of the book (used in conjunction) to look at their CPD in a new way.
This book is designed to help GPs with reflective learning, appraisals and revalidation. To make this process more interesting, the authors have provided:
- a range of videos to watch - they are meant to be humorous, but also address serious issues
- poems to read - believe it or not, they can be useful
- exercises to work through and thought-provoking questions to consider
GPs all need to reflect on the way we practise and deal with our patients; they all have to undergo annual appraisals; and soon all GPs have to be revalidated. All these stages of continued development will be easier with this workbook.
Includes a DVD of 13 short films starring Dr Hairy (of YouTube fame). In his own inimitable (if somewhat irreverent) style, he tackles a wide range of topical issues.
