Our innovative MB BS Medicine curriculum and focus on problem based learning alongside early and sustained clinical exposure ensures that students develop the problem solving, analytical and communication skills and resilience needed to deliver a high standard of care to people with complex needs and from a variety of backgrounds.
Following a successful bid for expansion, the medical school will see a 70% growth in the number of undergraduate students over the next five years and intends to use this opportunity, alongside clinical partners, to lead the development of the clinical workforce across our region and beyond. Key to this will be development and innovation in the way primary care education is delivered across the programme. This is likely to involve new types of clinical placement such as longitudinal integrated clerkships.

Hull York Medical School has been offering primary care short courses since 2012 and has welcomed more than 3000 delegates from the local primary care community and beyond on one of its courses.
Courses are run across the region from Scarborough to North Lincolnshire, many in conjunction with local clinical commissioning groups as well as national RCGP education providers such as Red Whale.
The 6 monthly GP Update Course (run in both Hull and York) has now become a firm date in the CPD calendar of many local GPs.

In 2019, we will be extending our successful short courses series through launching a new masterclass series. These one-day events will offer an in-depth exploration of emerging hot topics in General Practice and primary care, using hot-off-the-press research and scholarship from within the Academy and our partners.
Planned topics include: Managing problematic polypharmacy (drawing on PRIME prescribing); a generalist take on managing mental health; and person-centred approaches to managing diabetic risk.

Undergraduates at Hull York Medical School have opportunities to explore self-selected topics in more depth in two Scholarship and Special Interest Programmes (SSIPs) within the 5 year programme. The Academy offers SIPPs educational programmes on person-centred care, and supporting primary care/general practice research projects.

The Academy supports a growing group of doctors interested in academic GP training. Our group includes Foundation Year medics, GPs in training (including Academic Clinical Fellows) and qualified GPs.
Members of our group have successfully applied for ACF and doctoral training fellowships. We hold regular informal meetings and a bi-annual training workshop programme.
The Academy hosts a number of NIHR and local funded training posts at ACF, doctoral, IPF and clinical lecturer level, and welcomes GPs with interest in professional development from across the region to our training group.
