Summary

• More of the 3 years training needs to be based in
  General Practice
• One reason for this is the burden of assessment
• Many educators feel that something valuable is
  being lost as a result of a preoccupation with
  assessment
• What is lost is a sense of responsibility,
  confidence and competence
