4 3 Extent of poverty and damage in haiti. 4 4 Using IMROD and READER framework for reviewing papers. 3 3 Ttreatment for Ramsay Hunt Syndrome:pred 60mg for 3 weeks, acyclovir, lacrilube I would appreciate talks with more medical relevance and space out the non medical talks (e.g 1 non medical talk per GP teaching day)
2 2 It is a very noble gesture to give back something to the community in times of a disaster. 3 3 Admittedly an important part of our CPD as doctors but will try to make a habit of regular reading 2 2 The airplane thing was interesting but perhaps a little too much detail! A refresher session on latest developments with regards to primary care once in 6-9 months??
5 3 Yes 2 2 No Josh 5/3- excellent concise summery Uche 1/1- potentially interesting topic but of no relevance to GP training 1. Don't invite the research manager back until she knows how to use powerpoint. 2. Invite registrars to leave before sessions with no relevance to GP training are commenced.
3 3 Very interesting and worthwhile. Good talk and useful to remind people of opportunities for using their skills and gaining unique experiences. 4 3 Useful and good to cover the topic. 4 4 Interesting and passionate presentation about flight, ?relevance but at least a change of pace. Maybe a statistics revision session pitched at level of AKT? But would heve to be engaging speaker.
3 3 how to read a paper. 5 5 3 3
3 4 4
3 2 Inteesting to know how difficult it to work without proper infrastructure. 4 4 Very useful when we reading apaper. Now I will concentrate more on reading a paper properly. 2 2 Intresting but felt too long. When we have a talk about a non medical thing try to concentrate on basics and short.
3 4 about the poor infastructure i hiati and how it affects rescue work 4 4 Learnt a lot about how to read apaper and will definately use the resources given to read some papers 2 1 Josh's presentation was short and sweet.Uches presentation was something he liked but a bit long and tooo explanatory for the rest of us. I dont think the research lady really talked about aything interesting ,,so maybe tell visitor speakers that the presentations should actually be relevant to us .
4 3 heart breaking to see the amount of destruction in haiti. hats off to all those who tried to bring a smile back on these people 4 4 Good motivation to read and intepret a good paper 3 3 a change to pizza from sandwiches are welcoming
4 2 managing acute coditions in times of disasters 5 4 gives a syatematic way of looking at articles and will be very useful in my future reading 4 2 section on flying was well organised and shows a good example of how to organise a presentation nil
2 2 learnt about the country and current situation. Its sad that people didn't have access to healthcare and after seeing the pictures i understood the magnitude of the problems and the challange facing the medical, army and other profession. Good Team work ! hats off to Nicola and team. PRIMARY CARE REASEARCH PRESENTATION WASN'T USEFUL AT ALL. 5 5 Learnt about IMROD and READER It was really a useful topic and I learnt a lot today regarding this. 3 3 UCHE - topic was boring JOSH - good clinical case for discussion. We need some good presentation about research relevant to GP. It would be nice to have another session on how to read a paper. I really don't like the idea of presenting Topics not relevant to GP like th eone Uche did.
3 4 I've gained a greater appreciation of the challenges & difficulties of providing healthcare in a natural disaster. 5 5 I learnt a format for reading a paper which was straightforward. 4 4 Ramsey-Hunt syndrome - remember to examine the palate when seeing patients with a 7th nerve palsy. The research session was not relevant - would have been more useful to hear about how we might get involved with research, ideas for research as GP trainees. Trainee presentations - I think there should be a time limit e.g. 30 min as presenting to time is a useful skill - if people overun the PDs should ask them to wrap up.
Was useful to have a structured way of approaching appraising a paper - i will try and do it more often! Nice clear presentation from Josh and a good overview of the sydrome and its management i liked the contrast with bells palsy. Thanks Uche for a very passionate presentation on flight although perhaps something more GP focused might be better for the group as a whole although i will be watching the wings next time i fly! I found the primary care research session quite dry, lots of talk about he structure of the department that wasnt relevant to us and nothing really about what research they had actually done or about people getting involved.
4 4 What actually happens rather than what is seen on the news - much more disorganised than cameras would have you believe 3 4 I always find reading papers a chore but the marking system at the end (if it scores less than a certain amount chuck it in the bin!) was really useful. I need to revise statistics as that all went over my head!!! Josh - 4 for usefulness, 3 for chaning way i think. I didnt know that rx for RHS required such a big dose of pred. Uche usefulness 1 (sorry!) Changing the way i think 3 (looking forward to getting to sydney in 30 minutes) Really passionate about his subject matter but may need to work on making it abit more condensed and not spending so much time on the minute details. If he could get that presentation down to 20 minutes i think it would have been funny and kept us all interested in the subject matter, even if it was not relevant to medicine. I think i found the talk about research not useful. It was packed with acronyms that i didnt know what they stood for and wasnt properly explained. It was meant to inspire more of us to take part in research but for me it had the opposite effect. A more useful session would have been a really basic 'idiots' guide to medical research.
4 3 4/5 for Haiti. Was good to learn about healthcare provision in a poorer country, and how emergency aid works. Good slides with plenty of pictures for interest. 2/4 for the Primary Care research talk - was a bit dull and did not really see the point of it. 4 4 I find statistics really difficult! I felt the session was useful but feel I will need more teaching on this topic. 4 4 Learnt about the treatment for Ramsay Hunt - prednisolone for 3 weeks. I had no idea at all about planes and thought it was refreshing to have a non-medical presentation that was delivered with such enthusiasm. I think we should have more of those! The idea of a talk on primary care research is good, would be better perhaps if focused more on ideas we could pursue /present a previous research project to show how it's done. Also, keep lunch break to an hour maximum!
3 4 Difficulty of delivering care within a third wolrd country in the wake of a natural disaster. 4 3 Aprraisal of a paper needs to be systematic and having a basis for doing this is very useful. 3 3 Natural history of RHS and it treatment. Research session would have been much more useful if it focussed more on what could be achieved and what opportunities there were.
