GPR Educational Log
The Severn and Wessex Deanery requires all GP Registrars to have an
Educational Log. The key component of an Educational Log must be a
Personal Development Plan (PDP), but it should also contain:
1. A record of formative assessment
2. A record of appraisal
3. A record of the educational process
4. Evidence of learning.
The Educational Log is part of the
Learning
Portfolio which will also contain information such as the following:
- Your signed educational agreement with your trainer
- A copy of your curriculum vitae
- Evidence of GMC registration and medical insurance
- Timetables
- Useful contact telephone numbers
- Paperwork from your training practice, e.g.
contract of employment
- Paperwork from the
release
course
- Evidence of attendance at
courses
An Educational Log should be useful and relevant to the GP registrar, but
it must also provide the opportunity for independent assessment by the
local
associate director or the Joint Committee of the quality of the
training and the educational process. The compilation of an Educational
Log is not a question of ticking boxes. It will require some original
thought, and you will need the help of your trainer. You may find the
Wessex Way published by Blackwell Science a useful source of information.
