Dr Tim Patten is Co-ordinator of Medicine in Practice Year 1 Course within Medicine at the University of Southampton.

I have been a GP in Millbrook, Southampton since 1988.

I have been teaching medical students since 1988.
I currently teach years 1, 4, and 5.

I have been teaching the MIP1 course since it started, and have been co-ordinating the MIP1 course since 2002.
MIP1 succeeds in its aim that all medical students should learn clinical skills from their first weeks as a student, that they will use for the rest of their professional lives.

I also work voluntarily as a tutor for PRIME (Partnerships in Medical Education) that teaches these skills to resource poor countries, in my case Romania.
