Additional information for ST3 LTFTs

  • ST3 teaching is for all GP Registrars entering their final GP placement, generally for 12 months on a full time basis so the whole ST3 teaching year is experienced.  
  • The  remainder of the final GP placement will be used for clinical work as the majority of study leave will have been used in the first 12 months. We calculate study leave from the start of ST3 until CCT. You will be able to attend external courses during this time.
  • Attending ST3 teaching at the beginning of the placement means being part of the same trainee group from ST2 , providing consistency and familiarity.
  • It is the GP Registrars responsibility to check the timetable and plan ahead. They must achieve 70% attendance of approximately 40 sessions, these include Topic Teaching. ST3 topics are scheduled approximately the same time each academic year.
