The three year GP training schemeHow it worksFrom August 2008 the Oxford District three year GP training scheme is made up of eighteen months in hospital posts and eighteen months in general practice, split into a six-month stint and a full year. The programme directors are keen that these two periods are spent in different training practices, to maximise the potential of the educational experience. The extra GP experience gives trainees the chance to work with different patient populations and perhaps different sizes of practice, and also allows St1s and St2s to build up relationships with practices and teams, and to integrate their secondary and primary care learning objectives. Allocation of trainees to practices for their first GP stint will be made by the scheme programme directors, however for their final year in practice trainees are likely to be able to express preferences. PracticalitiesHospital posts will be administered and paid via Medical Personnel in the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Trust (ORHT). During the GP stints, trainees are paid via the practice. For the first six months GP stint, the trainee's contract is still via ORH, however for the final year the trainee's contract is directly with the training practice. Keeping in touch in St1 and St2Throughout the hospital posts there is a fortnightly two-hour learning set for those in St1 and St2, run as separate groups faciltated by the programme directors. This is an informal educational session, which aims to refocus perspective on general practice by looking at the interface between primary and secondary care. Usually this takes the form of case discussions. The learning set also provides a forum for trainees to feed back about their hospital posts and GP practices and share practical advice with peers. |
