An introduction to the new F-Zero course

Medical Education Fellow Dr Neha Ahuja speaks to Co-course Lead Dr Ravi Parekh about the new F-Zero course

Calling all GP Practices referring to Northwick Park Hospital…

Are you an energised, enthusiastic practice referring patients to Northwick Park Hospital?

Do you want to become involved teaching final year medical students from Imperial?

If you are, you may be a perfect GP Practice to host our F-Zero students!

What is your commitment?

  • You will host pairs (up to 3 pairs) of final year medical students
  • The students will act as true apprentices, running independent clinics for 1 day a week over 30 weeks, able to see all patients and take an active part in the GP Practice activities.
  • You will provide a half a day tutorial weekly (which includes pastoral supervision for the students)

What is the benefit for you?

  • Generously financially reimbursed for your time (details being finalised)
  • The students are also working in Northwick Park Hospital and will have additional medical and surgical consultant supervisors. This allows for a true opportunity for bridges between primary and secondary care.
  • Final year students who are highly skilled and able to aid with service delivery.
  • Develop a true mentoring relationship with these students.
  • Professional development for you as a tutor to develop educational skills

Each pair of student allocated 3 supervisors across Year 6:

  • General Practitioner:  Clinical & Educational supervision
  • 2 x Hospital Consultant:  Clinical supervision
