What are the expectations for attendance?<\/span><\/summary>

GP trainees in hospital placements are expected to visit their trainer\/educational supervisor (ES), at their ST3 training practice, for at least 2 sessions every 6 months, which should include a session at the end of the placement to complete. We put reminders for this on your timetable. This is considered mandatory training.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

How do I notify my attendance?<\/span><\/summary>

As regular attendance at the half day release teaching programme is required for a successful ARCP, it is vital you notify the GP education team that you have attended your training practice. This will then be added to your attendance record. To do this you must email\u00a0gptraining-glos@nhs.net after each session.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

What is the aim of these sessions and what should I do?<\/span><\/summary>

The sessions are great to meet your educational supervisor and the team that you will be part of in your ST 3 year. It can also help to remind you of where you want to get to! The sessions can be whatever you want them to be. Towards the end of your hospital attachments you will have to spend part of the session completing your end of placement review but the rest of the time you can spend as constructively as you want. You may want to sit in on your trainer’s surgery, do your own surgery or sit in with an allied health professional. This can be really useful if it links with your current attachment (e.g. spending time with the health visitor during paediatrics, visiting the local physio during an orthopaedic placement or an antenatal clinic during O&G) If you’re really organised you may be able to forward some cases to your trainer to look at before the session so you can do a CBD whilst your there.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
