Abstract in brief

  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed primary care in the UK, leading to more remote consultations and less in-person contact, prompting a reevaluation of medical learning in this setting.
  • A study involving final-year medical students and GPs in the East of England found that, despite reduced patient contact, remote triaging and consultations enhanced the educational experience, though supervision methods impacted student responsibility.
  • Overall, primary care placements can still provide valuable learning opportunities post-COVID, but their effectiveness depends on how they are structured and delivered in the new, more remote-focused environment.
