Your GP Trainer Meetings
Every GP ST1/2 needs to keep in touch with his/her GP
Trainer throughout the hospital-based training. The GP Trainer can provide
support and advice, as well as to help orientate the doctor’s learning
objectives towards general practice. These visits help the doctor to
orientate their hospital training towards general practice
Enhance links between GP Trainer, practice and the
doctor who will be their future GP Registrar
Provide support and career /stress advice for doctors
during their hospital training
Doctors are encouraged to plan to stay a whole morning
or afternoon in the practice. Alongside a one-to-one session with your
Trainer, ST1/2s can usefully spend time in a surgery, either observing the
GP Trainer or, ideally, seeing a few patients and discussing their
management with the GP Trainer. Such time reminds doctors of the flavour of
general practice consultations and their emphasis on outpatient and chronic
care.
These sessions have been very positively evaluated by
other ST1/2s and provide a source of continuity over the hospital training
years
