MCFD·RCGP Teachers' Course The fourth module on Mentoring and Appraisal was co-organised by the RCGP and the MCFD through the hard work of Dr Mario Sammul. The course was organised at the Preluna Hotel Sliema from 27th June to ISlJuly 2006. All members of the Family Medicine Teachers Group attended this course at the end of which successful participants were presented with a certificate of Excellence in the Teaching of Family Medicine. The course also allowed and actually encouraged active participation of the new Trainees. The College had submitted a proposal for funding of these advanced courses to the European Social Fund Project and managed to secure these funds thus minimising the costs of organisation for the college.
