Trainees in a hospital post for 12 months are to aspire to attend 10 mandatory teaching sessions (mandatory) with a minimum of 70% to allow for leave and rota issues. Pro-rata for LTFT trainees.
Each teaching session is held jointly with ST2 trainees. Trainees may be split into their respective year groups for the second half of the session.
Additional Topic Teaching sessions (not mandatory) will be held approximately once a month. Some Topic Teaching is organised on our behalf by BGPERT, our external education provider. https://www.bathgped.co.uk/
It is the trainee’s responsibility to check the timetable and confirm availability with their hospital department or GP practice before booking a place with the GP Office.
Regular teaching reminders will be sent out (please plan ahead).
If you find you cannot attend please let the GP Office know as a courtesy.
Attendance will be recorded using the signed register from each session.
Regular checks of teaching attendance will be made, especially around 6 month reviews and ARCP periods.
If it is on the teaching timetable an Accent study leave application does not need to be submitted.
