Regular &#8216;social hours&#8217; make up only a quarter of the week, and Primary Care must cover those times outside normal hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">By the end of training your supervisor must sign off that you are competent in working outside normal hours. You demonstrate your competency by developing a UUSC &#8216;passport&#8217; during your training (mainly in ST3) through spending time in the UUSC setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nhsblocks-panel1 nhsuk-panel is-style-panel-with-label\"><h3>Useful Documents<\/h3><div class=\"paneltext\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/devondoctors.co.uk\/our-services\/meddcare-somerset\">Devon Doctors Ltd | Meddcare Somerset<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/somerset\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2021\/02\/UUSC-Session-Log-v2.doc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UUSC Session Log v2<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/somerset\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2021\/02\/Copy-of-UUSC-Fellow-Passport-v2.xlsx\">Copy of UUSC Fellow Passport v2<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information please go to: <a href=\"http:\/\/primarycare.severndeanery.nhs.uk\/training\/trainees\/urgent-and-unscheduled-care-uusc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/primarycare.severndeanery.nhs.uk\/training\/trainees\/urgent-and-unscheduled-care-uusc\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-nhsblocks-nhsbutton alignright nhsuk-button\"><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"nhsuk-card__description\">Out of Hours\/Urgent and Unscheduled Care An essential requirement Urgent and Unscheduled Care or &#8216;Out of Hours&#8217;
