The full time week is 40 hours (on average) for full time GP trainee. This includes all in hours and out of hours work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The GPC and COGPED have recommended that the standard GP specialty registrar working week will be divided into 70% clinical time and 30% educational time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is notionally 10 sessions that are four hours each but your practice may choose to organise this differently as long as the average 40 hours per week and 70% \/ 30% split is maintained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinical sessions<\/strong><\/em> may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When out of hours work<\/strong><\/em> is undertaken, the equivalent number of hours will need to be deducted from the clinical sessions in the same week (or following weeks) as agreed with your practice. The scheduling of out of hours work must also remain compliant with the average 40 hour weekly total and you must also ensure a safe working pattern in accordance with the terms and conditions and scheduling requirements of your contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of your training you can undertake a clinical session within extended hours<\/em><\/strong> (if available). Extended hours are not offered by all surgeries. These sessions usually happen on certain weekdays in the evening and\/or on Saturday mornings. If you work one of these sessions you must of course be supervised and supported in the same way you would be during core opening hours. No GP Trainee should ever be in surgery without another GP being present, e.g. their Educational Supervisor, another partner or a salaried GP. The clinical session undertaken in extended hours would replace a clinical session undertaken in core hours. It is important to ensure that the structure of the working (and teaching) week remains compliant with the terms and conditions and scheduling requirements of your contract. Clinical sessions undertaken during extended opening hours do NOT count towards the Out of Hours requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The educational sessions<\/em><\/strong> involve VTS day release, self directed learning and educational time within your practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Educational time within the practice can include tutorials, practice educational meetings, educational supervisor meetings, activities relating to workplace based assessment, e-portfolio entries and other engagement with the Annual Review of Competence Progression process, time spent on audit and quality improvement and independent study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The full time week is 40 hours (on average) for full time GP trainee.
