The GP Living 101 series of workshops for GPs, practice nurses, and managers has returned bigger and better for 2025 with a broader curriculum of non-clinical topics shaped by your feedback.

This series builds on the success of last year, recognising the growing pressures on healthcare professionals and the need for holistic support to address burnout and workload challenges.

Running from February to July, these six interconnected CPD workshops focus on tackling root causes of burnout—unrealistic expectations, leadership gaps, reactive health systems, and the challenges of working in healthcare.

Each session provides practical tools to improve staff wellbeing, streamline practice operations, and foster collaboration.
