TALE is a one-day teaching and learning event for University of Glasgow GP tutors and educational supervisors

#gptale2024

Teaching in general practice continues to be a very well evaluated and enjoyable aspect of the University of Glasgow medical curriculum. We are committed to both supporting and training our tutors and would like to extend an invitation to our annual Teaching and Learning Event (TALE) to all of our general practice tutors and educational supervisors. TALE will not only celebrate what is good about general practice teaching but will also focus on updating supervisors and tutors on developments in the curriculum.

This year, the TALE planning team have devised a fantastic programme which includes a wide range of lightning talks & short presentations in the morning for all delegates and a selection of interactive workshops that you can chose from in the afternoon designed to offer learning opportunities for new and experienced tutors.
