Essential skills training for International Medical Graduates
As you settle into life as an International Medical Graduate (IMG) working in the UK, you’re likely to come across a lot of things that are done differently to how you have done them in the past. You may be interested in learning about ethical guidelines, approaches to patient care, and the laws related to UK medical practicse.
Perhaps you want to update your communication skills, or learn best practice techniques to help keep patients safe and satisfied, and reduce the risks of problems or complaints.?
All these topics, and more, are covered in our essential skills training courses, with access included as part of your membership when you join Medical Protection. You can choose the learning that suits you best and earn CPD points at the same time, with options including face-to-face and virtual workshops, webinars, and e-learning modules.
Virtual workshops are live, interactive training sessions conducted online with fellow doctors and an expert facilitator:
Navigating adverse outcomes
