Guidelines and instructions for GP Registrars

This section explains how to produce and submit a project for the written submission element of summative assessment to be marked by the National Project Marking Schedule (NPMS).

Deanery Offices can accept submissions at any time but if the GPR is in their final 6 months of training they should submit by:

  • 1st November for 31st January finish
  • 1st May for 31st July finish

Should the project not pass the local deanery assessment process, then the GP Registrar will be requested to resubmit the project. In this case advice from the GP trainer, and or Course Organiser should be sought.

Deaneries will check that the original and new submission is not identical.

If upon resubmission, the project fails to pass the summative assessment process, then the GP Registrar will be permitted to submit a further project following a period of retraining on project methods. The duration and nature of this specific retraining should be agreed following careful discussion between the Director, Course Organiser, GP Trainer and GP Registrar. In the event that this specific period of retraining cannot be completed within the normal duration of the planned GP training period, then the GP Registrar will need to seek an extension of their training.

In the event of failure of the 2nd project submission, the Director will discuss the matter and how to proceed with the GP Registrar and others involved in their training.
