Abstract

What was the educational challenge?: Create a new GP teaching day based at the university hospital site that inspires medical students to perceive GP lecturers as academics with a view to following primary care as a future career.

What was the solution?: Technifying and gamifying GP teaching. Collaboration with the digital education team using new technology including virtual reality (VR) headsets and immersive projector room to embed innovative teaching practices into traditional GP teaching. Also used a gamification approach to introduce quality improvement and emphasise the importance of communication between healthcare teams.

What lessons were learned?: Students highly rated this teaching. Written feedback suggested it was valued far more than lecture-based teaching due to its immersive and interactive nature. Students strongly felt it prepared them for placement.

What are the next steps?: Further evaluation of this year's student feedback and a follow-up study of perceptions of clinical and academic general practice as career options. Working with the digital technology team to enhance the current teaching further and disseminating this work across the medical school.

全科医生教学的技术化和游戏化。

教育方面的挑战是什么？：在大学医院网站上创建一个新的全科医生教学日，激励医科学生将全科医生讲师视为学者，并将初级保健作为未来的职业。解决办法是什么？：全科医生教学的技术化和游戏化。与数字教育团队合作，使用虚拟现实（VR）耳机和沉浸式投影仪等新技术，将创新教学实践嵌入传统的GP教学中。还使用游戏化方法来引入质量改进，并强调医疗团队之间沟通的重要性。从中吸取了什么教训？学生们对这种教学评价很高。书面反馈表明，由于其沉浸式和互动性，它比基于讲座的教学更有价值。学生们强烈认为这为他们的就业做好了准备。下一步是什么？对今年学生反馈的进一步评估，以及对临床和学术全科医生作为职业选择的看法的后续研究。与数字技术团队合作，进一步加强当前的教学，并在整个医学院传播这项工作。

The journal is UK based but welcomes contributions from all over the world. Readers will benefit from the broader perspectives on educational activities provided through the contributions of all health professionals, including general practitioners, nurses, midwives, health visitors, community nurses and managers. This sharing of experiences has the potential for enhancing healthcare delivery and for promoting interprofessional working.
