RCGP Curriculum - 4.2 Information Management and Technology
This section of our curriculum guide refers to statement 4.2, Information Management and Technology, produced by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).
General practice is increasingly dependent on the electronic storage and communication of patient records, requiring GPs to be competent across a range of IT skills. They need to develop knowledge of the benefits for their practices and patients, as well as an understanding of the potential pitfalls, in order to perform effectively in the modern healthcare environment.
Here we have collated key articles from our journals to help you meet the curriculum requirements in this area.

These curriculum resources are regularly updated with relevant articles from our range of healthcare publications. All articles are reviewed by GP advisers. We have set the standard lifetime of an article at two years and will aim to renew all articles within that timeframe. However, some older articles will remain in the listing if our reviewers believe there to be no significant changes to the topic covered.
