Items marked with * are classified as Life Stages Topic Guides in the RCGP curriculum. At Bradford VTS, we have integrated these into the Clinical Topics section, recognising that much of their content is inherently clinical. To preserve their identity, each is additionally tagged by life stage, allowing both clinical relevance and curriculum structure to be reflected clearly.

Some areas are intentionally duplicated to improve ease of navigation—for example, Gynae & Breast and Breast & Gynae.  This ensures users can locate key topics quickly, regardless of how they search for them.

 NOT IN RCGP CLINICAL TOPICS AS SEPARATE ITEMS (YET)

Complementary & Alternative Medicine
Driving & Flying
Exercise & Nutritionadults
Pain Management
Promoting Health & Preventing Disease(screening, lifestyle illnesses, deprivation, benefits, homelessness)
SAFEGUARDING – adults(+domestic violence +slavery +radicalisation)
SAFEGUARDING – children
Social Medicinehomeless, benefits, financial help
Teenage Healthi.e. adolescent health

Some of these topics are partially integrated within the RCGP Clinical Topics. However, at Bradford VTS, we believe they merit a distinct section of their own—given their breadth, unique identity, and the rich, high-yield insights they contain.  We hope that, in time, the RCGP curriculum will evolve to recognise and reflect this more clearly.

EDUCATORS & TEACHING

everything about teaching and learning

Our goal here is to make complex educational theory as practical and as accessible as possible for busy medical teachers.
To stimulate you, reduce duplication of work and help add creativity to your educational programme.
