Determining the educational impact of the introduction of practice-based small group learning within an intraprofessional group of doctors.

INTRODUCTION: Practice-Based Small Group Learning (PBSGL) is a system for continuing professional development introduced into Wessex Region Defence Primary Healthcare (DPHC) as the Salisbury Plain PBSGL group in 2012. This is a mixed intraprofessional group comprising general practitioners (GPs), GP trainers, general practice specialist registrars (GPSTs) and general duties medical officers (GDMOs).

METHODS: An anonymised online questionnaire and thematic analysis was undertaken to assess the educational impact of PBSGL in such a mixed-role group reflecting military general practice.

RESULTS: A positive effect of PBSGL was demonstrated and further enhanced by the intraprofessional composition. Positive peer support effects were demonstrated for all members of the cohort regardless of role.

CONCLUSION: PBSGL is an essential pillar for supporting all doctors working within DPHC. Further qualitative evaluation of cohorts of GDMOs, GPSTs and mixed-role groups as well as the development of standardised questionnaires is recommended.
