Summary. The people responsible for undergraduate medical education are being urged to devise curricula which are more learner centred and community oriented. This has huge implications for teacher training. A project is reported aimed at helping general practice teachers develop learner‐centred educational approaches through one‐day workshops, themselves arranged on learner‐centred lines. An evaluation indicates these workshops met their aim, and seem most useful when participants have an opportunity to practise newly acquired skills as soon afterwards as possible.
