From polyclinics to federations (see page 334) to supervising GPs with a special interest (see page 332), closer working between surgeons and GPs is increasingly on the health care agenda. The College's education department is embracing this through its first course aimed specifically at GPs instead of surgeons or the surgical team. Otolaryngology for GPs allows general practitioners to benefit from the knowledge and experience of ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeons. It is the brainchild of College otorhinolarnyngology tutor, Gus Alusi, who is consultant otorhinolaryngologist at Barts and the London NHS Trust.
