Here you can find details of current educational activity for GPs in the Mid-Wessex region (Basingstoke, Salisbury and Winchester).

Below is an overview of GP Education providers in the Mid Wessex area. Please follow the links to their websites for further details, or view the Calendar for an overview of upcoming events.

Small groups are encouraged to post a summary of their activity and contact details on the Small Groups Page, and list their educational meetings in the Calendar.

Please make sure you add any good quality courses or GP events you may know of that are not listed on our calendar. We aim to update these pages as often as we can, but there may well be local events or education opportunities that we are not aware of. We, and all GPs in the Mid-Wessex area, are very grateful for your contributions.

Please note that the Mid-Wessex GP Education Team do not specifically endorse or accredit the courses/events listed on these pages. It is the responsibility of every GP to document their own learning at events and the impact on their practice. Forms to help you do this can be found here (under "Providing Evidence of CPD").
