Identifying GP trainees' priorities in simulation training: a questionnaire to aid course development in Scotland.

Simulation has been shown to be an effective method of delivering training in the management of acutely unwell patients. General practitioner (GP) trainees are a group in whom simulation training could contribute to their professional development. This project aimed to explore the potential impact of a simulation course for this group and to ascertain what trainees identified as their main training priorities regarding care of the acutely ill patient.
