Abstract:
This article is a short report on the third Japan-UK Primary Care Exchange Programme. Japanese delegates visited Scotland in September of 2015. They watched GP surgeries and attended the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Annual Primary Care Conference. The following topics are covered as some of the most insightful experiences: NHS Cancer screening programmes, support for people with cancer and their families, working conditions for GPs, and the Half-Day Release Programme for GP specialist training. In addition, the delegates reflected on their experiences.
