Learning and development case studies

Bespoke professional standards training

A new private hospital opening its doors in England invited GMC Services International (GMCSI) to share our core professional standards with the new staff. We provided in-depth training on Good medical practice to the leadership team through an interactive and engaging workshop.

Following the success of the leadership team training, the private hospital made the decision to include training on Good medical practice as a key component of their induction programme.

This bespoke training programme was also designed in an interactive and engaging manner, bringing the key principles of Good medical practice to life. The delegates found the training helpful and informative. It was useful that they were able to ask questions to make sure a thorough understanding of the professional standards.

Professional boundaries and professional behaviours in a changing world

GMCSI designed and delivered three training sessions covering the important topics of professional boundaries and professional behaviours in a changing world. The interactive workshop was designed specifically for medical doctors. The trainers used a variety of methods including videos, case-based discussion and group exercises to explore the application of the General Medical Council’s (GMC) professional standards in day-to-day practice. Training content was based on the GMC’s revised Good medical practice standards, with specific focus on the prescribing of medicines, social media guidance and maintaining professional boundaries.

Feedback from the sessions was extremely positive with over 90% of attendees rating both the workshop and presenters as very good, the highest rating available. Attendees described the workshop as “First Class” and 100% would recommend the sessions to their colleagues.

“The Independent Doctors Federation was pleased to include this vital training as part of our regular update training for our appraisers. The focus on professional boundaries, behaviours, and the GMC’s revised Good medical practice standards, reflects our commitment to supporting our doctors and appraisers in their professional roles. We remain dedicated to working with the GMC to promote high standards, and equip our doctors with valuable insights, and uphold excellence in private medical practice.”
