GP CPD Webinar Expertise - delivering CPD /CME via online web events 'CPD for Busy GPs Made Easy'
Simon is an experienced GP having qualified at Kings College Hospital, London in 1986, after which he undertook vocational training in West Sussex, before a spell working for 3 months in New Zealand and a year in Newfoundland, Canada.
He settled into a full time GP partnership role in 1992 in Corby, Northamptonshire, and then, after 16 years left the practice for a better work life balance and has enjoyed freelance locum work since.
In 2012 Simon heard about a vet delivering CPD for vets as web based seminars - webinars, and realised that would be a valuable option for fellow GPs to save valuable time and money with online CPD as live and interactive webinars. And so Webinars for GPs came into existence; Simon has been sourcing speakers and hosting weekly CPD web events since 2013. Simon has had a particular interest in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing and has run Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) courses as webinars for several years. In 2017 Simon realised there was a need for resilience and wellbeing training for GPs and other doctors and began researching this area with the aim to create a webinar based course. In the process of Simon's research he discovered Chris Johnstone and his resilience training at CollegeOfWellbeing.com.
The opportunity to collaborate with Chris on providing a web based Resilience for Doctors course is one that Simon has embraced with a passion. Simon is married to Jadz and they have a large blended family, including 4 grandchildren, enjoying walking, live music, and family time. Simon still works part time as a locum GP, and enjoys it!
