Honor Merriman has managed Oxford Primary Care Learning which has been hosting Continuing Professional Development events for GP’s and team members from their surgeries since 2008. The format of the meetings in the past has been an evening event (recently at the Nuffield Manor Hospital in Headington) with a hot buffet and up to 2 hours CPD training from an Oxford-based Consultant. Since 2020 we have transferred to an online medium (Zoom) to continue the programme. Whilst there are social drawbacks with an electronic system there can be added advantages. These are:

• as GP’s become even busier with Covid they can view the meeting without going out again from home at the end of a heavy day
• Child care or babysitters may no longer be required
• If the speaker agrees the meeting can be recorded and made available for a few weeks

We have held  regular monthly meetings (although we acknowledge that top speakers will be busy) If you have any ideas please reply to oxford.primary.care.learning2018@gmail.com

Our first meeting this term will be on Wednesday 26th of January at 7pm on the subject of

“Covid-19 and Climate Change – How are they affecting Inhaler Use ?”

Dr Honor Merriman will describe the range of inhalers that  OCCG currently advises us to use for patients with asthma and COPD. This will illustrate the range and complexity of  the options we have when prescribing

Jon Bell is director of a commercial organisation that investigates inhaler devices and their use. (Canday Medical Ltd.)

He will explain how we can use inhalers that deliver the medication our patients need and have the least impact on greenhouse gases.
