TARGET – Protected Learning Time

TARGET is a scheme that brings our Primary Care workforce together to learn new skills, hear about new treatments and share good practice.

It means that the surgery will need to close to facilitate this training but we will ensure that medical care will be available when you need it.

During the time the surgery is closed the GGC provides cover through the Out of Hours Service (111).

Why is TARGET important?

It  provides a coordinated relevant, focused, and quality education programme

It improves the quality of patient care through updating of knowledge and skills, and sharing of good practice

It encourages teamwork in primary care

It can aid personal and professional development

It provides an opportunity to respond to new technological and governance issues within health care and in the NHS

It provides time and some resources for individuals and practices to address their continuing professional development (CPD) needs and follow their Practice Development Plans (PDP).
