Tuesday 13th May 2025, 13:00 - 14:30 
Location: Online via MS Teams 

This interactive lunchtime session is designed for GP tutors and focuses on how to identify and support students who are struggling during their placements. The session will discuss key indicators of students in difficulty, such as issues with clinical performance and professionalism, as well as causes of difficulty including stress, financial pressures, mental health issues and neurodivergence. We will explore practical strategies for offering support, and guidance on how and when to escalate concerns.
