Pivoting in the pandemic: A regional tale of the rapid pivot to virtual continuing professional development for general practitioner supervisors during COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted face-to-face delivery of general practitioner supervisor training in an unprecedented way. Simultaneously, the need for continuing professional development (CPD) amplified. The rapid pivot to virtual and blended learning solutions required great organisational agility, and a toolbox of solutions. OBJECTIVE: Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 restrictions on face-to-face learning, this article shares the strategies employed to achieve the pivot to virtual CPD. DISCUSSION: There was much trial and error, as well as successes and learning opportunities, as training organisations grappled with how to deliver virtual CPD during lockdowns.
