This page contains information related to the ST2-B teaching schedule, beginning in February 2024.
Teaching takes place on Tuesday afternoons from 1300-1700. Sessions begin at 1400 or 1430 and most will be in the Lecture Theatre at the Education Centre.
Your training practice should ensure you are released from clinical duties by 1300 as the 4 hour structured educational session begins at 1300 and lasts until 1700. We include time within that to have pre-teaching case-based discussion and post-teaching portfolio reflection.

Programme
There are 10 sessions of teaching per ST2 semester. In one semester only, half of the year group will also attend the ST2 Consultation Skills Course, run by Julian Tomkinson. You will be contacted about this directly.
When teaching is not scheduled, you should use the time to complete online or other learning, such as:
- TALC and Healthy English
- These courses have been developed by GP Educators in Greater Manchester and teach consultation skills and improving the use of English when consulting
- NHS e-learning for health
- RCGP e-learning
- Gateway-C: Learning around cancer diagnosis and management within primary care
- Arrange to attend outpatient clinics (such as ENT, Surgical Acute Referral Clinic, Ophthalmology, Gynaecology, Physiotherapy, Antenatal Clinic, Paediatrics, Breast Clinic etc)
- You should contact clinics directly to request to join them. It’s useful if their know your learning objective(s) for the session in advance.
- AKT Study groups
- If given enough notice, the Postgraduate team may be able to book you a room for this in the Education Centre, and we also encourage the use of MS Teams via your nhs.net email address to meet up online – practising using video is a key part of the SCA exam!
