Purpose: A shift to remote consulting characterised the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in general practice which resulted in significant changes in the delivery of medical education. It is unclear whether these changes have been sustained and how they are perceived by faculty.
Methods: We surveyed a defined population of GP practices during April 2022 with questions to elicit estimates of medical student involvement in different types of remote consultation and supervisor ratings of their confidence in supervising different modalities of remote consultation.
Background: GP practices deliver vital medical student teaching in the face of increasingly challenging circumstances.
Aim: To understand the nature and scale of threats to medical student teaching capacity in primary care.
Design & Setting: An electronic survey of a predefined population of 120 East of England GP practices that host medical student placements.
