Workshop 6
Using PROMs in Primary Care in theory and practice
Facilitators
- Jose Valderas, University of Exeter Medical School
- Ian Porter, University of Exeter Medical School
Aim
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are health status assessments elicited from the patients themselves. The new NHS Outcomes Framework places PROMs among the key measures of performance of the National Health Services., but there has so far been limited evidence on their use in Primary Care.
Objectives
- to gain a better understanding of what PROMs are (and what they are not)
- to be able to complete, administer score and interpret different types of PROMs
- to be able to identify and appraise PROMs for use in Primary Care
- to know best practice and the supporting evidence for their use in Primary Care
- to learn from hands on ongoing experience of routinely using PROMS to patients with multiple conditions in GP surgeries in the South West.
Workshop 5

Facilitators
- Richard Knox, University of Nottingham
- Rodger Charlton, University of Nottingham
- Jane Coomber, University of Nottingham
Aim
To explore ways of meaningfully delivering a curriculum of compassionate care in primary care to our undergraduate medical students and postgraduate trainees.
Objectives
- Shared understanding of the barriers and facilitators to implementing a robust curriculum focused on compassionate care
- Shared understanding of the benefits of delivering a comprehensive curriculum focused around compassionate care
- Collaboration for educational research focused on education of compassion in the primary care curriculum
