Travel and Subsistence
GP registrars are entitled to claim for travel and subsistence for
attendance at courses, lectures and other educational activities approved
for GPR training. Click here for a
list of
the courses approved for GPR training and the levels of funding for
each course.
All applications for the reimbursement of course fees must be sought in
advance of attendance, by completing the front page only of form
GPCF/1 and submitting to Mrs Heather Joel at the Severn and Wessex
Deanery. Prior approval may also need to be sought from the local
associate
director. The only exception being release course where prior approval
is not required and claims should be sent to relevant course administrator
for validation at end of term prior to forwarding to Severn and Wessex
Deanery.
Recognition can also be given for attendance at courses outside the
Deanery, for special visits, or for attachments to other types of practice
from the one in which the GP registrar is based. PRIOR approval MUST be
gained well in advance, from the local
associate
director before the proposed educational course starts. If approval is
granted, reimbursement is from Section 63 funds but travel and subsistence
is only up to the maximum allowed by the Department of Health and there is
no guarantee that course fees incurred will be repaid in full, as the
budget is limited.
GP registrars may claim for travel and subsistence involved for taking
appropriate exams and diplomas on form GPCF/3 obtainable from and paid by
the relevant Health Authority. They are not entitled to the examination
fee.
