GP+

Early in 2023 the Academy launched the GP+  training programme  to develop their knowledge within a specialist interest whilst maintaining general practice skills.

GP+ is currently closed to applications

GP+ programme required a minimum commitment of 12 months, ideally on a full time basis but with a minimum requirement of 6 sessions per week (between clinical and training).

For a full time GP, approximately 5 sessions per week were spent in practice, the remaining 4 sessions allocated to the specialist interest and any associated training/courses. These sessions are protected to undertake clinical observational placements, taught education and clinical sessions.

A study budget was agreed at the outset of the programme to meet their outcomes to support the development of the specialist interest.

What a GP+ could expect:

  • A supportive learning environment
  • A comprehensive induction
  • Commitment from the whole practice team to support the GP+ programme
  • Commitment from the Primary and Community Care Academy to identify a GP Mentor
  • Commitment from the services to fund agreed specialist interest education/training
