GPEG is a faculty of educators dispersed across 180 GP practices that delivers over 17 weeks of full-time teaching to 1000 medical students every year.
There is a government imperative on UK medical schools to produce the large numbers of future GPs that the NHS needs.
GPEG ensures students are exposed to inspiring, interesting, high-quality experiences in primary care with consistently excellent teaching.
We are the only sector of our university that delivers teaching in the GP practice environment.
This necessitates unique approaches to learning and teaching underpinned by exclusive strategy and policy.
The scale and complexity of GPEG’s responsibility makes it critical to the viability of the Cambridge medical degree – and to the future of the NHS.
