The Protocol Agreement

GP Trainers ...

  1. are responsible for the training of individual doctors as general practitioners in the general practice setting. In particular, GP Trainers must be aware of the requirements of SA and of the level of work required. It is crucial that GP Trainers are able to provide reliable and effective information, advice, support and encouragement.
     
  2. are expected to organise feedback on a GP Registrar’s consultations and advise when they feel the GP Registrar is ready to submit a video, or attend a simulated patient surgery for SA purposes.
     
  3. should be fully equipped with the necessary skills to put videotapes together so as to ensure reasonable technical quality in videos made by their GP registrars.
     
  4. are expected to advise GP Registrars on the written submission of practical work and allow protected time to complete this. All training practices must have in place an active programme of audit which demonstrates the full audit cycle and the application of both standards and criteria.
     
  5. are expected to highlight any concerns as early as possible in the GP Registrar year so that action can be taken, and enlist the support of others if a GP Registrar is not likely to pass all components. GP Registrars will then have the support of their GP Trainer, Course Organiser, Co-ordinator, Director or Associate Director in attempting to reach the required standard. This may include an extended period of training as a GP Registrar.
