General practice protected learning time programme

The Protected Learning Time (PLT) programme comprisesmonthly learning sessions primarily aimed at general practice staff. Where possible, this is extended to the wider health and care workforce.

The aim of these sessions is to share knowledge and best practice ways of working to deliver high-quality patient care. The agenda forthese sessions are set by the workforce, in partnership with the GP Care Group,to address educational gaps and developmental opportunities.
