The Tayside Centre for General Practice (TCGP) is a multi-disciplinary association of primary care clinicians, researchers and educators established in 1992. Located on the campus of Ninewells Hospital and Medical School in Dundee within the Mackenzie Building it unifies general practice educators (undergraduate, PG training and Professional Development) with primary care researchers (eHealth and Quality improvement in particular). It has an important role in building links with the primary care community in Tayside and beyond.

This section provides a general overview of the activities within TCGP and relevant links. We have dedicated sections on Undergraduate and Postgraduate teaching, Professional Development and each research group.

TCGP was formed at a time when the healthcare system in the UK was placing a greater emphasis on community based care, and the NHS reforms had seen wide ranging changes in the organisation of patient care services. One key and highly innovative aspect of TCGP has been the integration of health service and academic staff which has given us a unique identity and purpose. The value of TCGP is therefore in its ability to support and optimise productivity in:

• Undergraduate teaching in primary care and general practice
• General practice and foundation training
• Primary care and associated research
• Other postgraduate education, including MSc, CPD and higher degrees
• Career support and opportunities for those interested in developing academic special interests
• Support for local general practices and NHS Tayside.

The building has a free access-controlled car park for staff use and for those attending meetings.
