Requirements of GP Registrars

  1. Discuss with their GP trainer the resources they will require to carry out the COGPED videotape including protected time.

  2. Ensure videotapes are of adequate technical quality and recorded on VHS at ‘standard play’ speed. If the videotape is not of adequate audio / visual quality they may be asked to submit a further videotape within 1 month.

  3. Submit one copy of the videotape, properly labelled, to their local Dearery Office.

  4. Although the Royal Mail guarantees delivery of all packages and ensures complete safety from dispatch to delivery, there have been occasions when a videotape has not reached its destination. Before submitting their video, GP Registrars are advised to make a copy and keep this in a secure place. The copy videotape should be erased and/or destroyed as soon as a pass is obtained.
  5. Submit 2 copies of the Videotape Logbook Summary Sheet GP registrars are to keep the original copy of the videotape Logbook Summary Sheet for their own reference in the event of a request for resubmission.

  6. Submit 2 copies of the COGPED Videotape Logbook to be provided at the expense of the GP training practice. GP registrars are to keep the original copy of the logbook for their own reference in the event of a request for resubmission.

  7. If submitting the videotape for the MRCGP/SA single route, GP Registrars must make sure that they have understood the MRCGP, COGPED and Deanery instructions on its submission. Checklist

  8. Ensure that the videotape is either hand delivered or sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery to the Deanery Office, no later than 3 months before the end of their general practice training. Once videotapes are received in the Deanery Office, they remain the property of the Deanery and cannot under any circumstances be returned to the GP registrar.

  9. Ensure that the Consent Forms For Video Recording For Assessment Purposes are all signed and securely stored in the practice.

  10. If the videotape is submitted later than 3 months prior to the end of their general practice based training year it may result in a significant delay in certification.
