Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress Health Education England has made in developing a mutual health e-learning package to support continuing professional development for GPs by January 2015; and how many GPs have used that package.
Health Education England (HEE) is not currently developing a mutual health e-learning package to support continuing professional development for general practitioners (GPs).
However, HEE has been mandated by the Department to develop a mental health e-learning package which will be available to the public from 9 March. The package has been designed for all primary and secondary healthcare staff, including GPs.
No uptake figures are currently available.
