title: The PWH Grieve Memorial Award. A study looking at regional general practice training schemes in Britain and Ireland.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This is a report of a study tour of four regional GP training schemes in Britain and Ireland. The award was made in 1997 for a study that occurred during 1998.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the study was to gather experience for the new Gippsland Regional Training Program and to look at the levels of support given to GP supervisors in the schemes visited.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There appears to be a greater focus on the professional development of GP supervisors in the UK and Ireland than here in Australia. Other key features of support for supervisors include feedback from the program to supervisors and accreditation/reaccreditation by the program of teaching practices.
