Complaint-driven preferences & trust: patient's views on consulting GP trainees.

Background: Work-based learning depends on patients' consent to have trainees involved in their care. However, patients can refuse trainees, which might lead to the loss of learning experiences. Improved understanding of patients' views on consulting trainees may provide useful insights to further optimise learning for trainees.

Professionals' perspectives on factors affecting GP trainees' patient mix: results from an interview and focus group study among professionals working in Dutch general practice.

Introduction: Seeing and treating patients in daily practice forms the basis of general practitioner (GP) training. However, the types of patients seen by GP trainees do not always match trainees' educational needs. Knowledge about factors that shape the mix of patient types is limited, especially with regard to the role of the professionals who work in the GP practice.
