The contribution of an adult educationalist to a trainers' group.

I have summarized my findings as a non-medically qualified educationalist attending regularly at meetings of a group of general-practitioner trainers. I believe that it is essential for trainers to learn to draw general principles from specific examples in order to help trainees to learn. Two other contributions an educationalist can make are promoting counselling relationships and helping trainers understand more deeply their own relationships with their patients.
