The intention is for the visit to be an exchange of
ideas, rather than an exercise in completing check
lists and ticking boxes. List of Trainers to be visited, and rota for visitors You'll need to do at least one re-approval visit to another practice every three years. You'll get plenty of warning as to when it is. If you can't make the date you've been allocated, please organise to "swap" with another Trainer, and then let Paula know who you've swapped with. Click here for latest rota : Bath rota (Excel) Who will visit? The visiting team typically consists of the Associate Director, another Trainer and a GP Registrar. On occasions, another senior GP Educator may join the team, and from time to time a lay member of the Educational Committee. The visit will be an informal, though structured, discussion between the Trainer and the visiting team. Issues that have been identified through the Application Form and other sources will form part of the discussion, together with other issues that arise during the visit. Timing The visit will normally last up to four hours. Typical timetable: 9am Visitors meet, plan questions. 9.30 Meet with Trainer, ask questions that arise from the application form. 10.20 Look at and discuss the video of a teaching session. 11.00 Tour the practice, talk to other members of the team. 11.30 Visitors meet to formulate findings and feedback. 12.00 Meet with Trainer and other members of team to give feedback and recommendations. 12.30 - 1.00 End. Video of recent teaching Please prepare a video of a recent tutorial or teaching exercise with a trainee, if available, or other person if not. The visitors will wish to view a short section (no more than 10 minutes) which shows you at your best. It would be helpful if you prepare a short report on the video commenting on its strengths and areas for your development. Please do not send the video to us, but arrange for it to be seen during the visit. Meeting other members of the team The visitors will want to meet the Practice Manager to discuss any administrative or management issues arising out of training. The visitors would appreciate meeting a Practice Nurse, a District Nurse and a Health Visitor if this fits in with their busy schedules. It will provide the opportunity to talk about the involvement of the Primary Healthcare Team in teaching and supervision. It is helpful to meet some or all of the Partners briefly, to discuss training issues that they have and to show a practice commitment to GP Registrar training. GP Registrar / GP PRHO / Retained Doctors: if in post, the visitors will want to meet them as well. Ask them to see our guidance for Trainees in visited practices. The Premises The visitors will ask for a brief tour of the practice, noting in particular the Trainee's room, accessibility to the Trainer and safety of the Trainee when consulting. Other documentation to be available at the time of the visit Please ensure that the GP Registrar has their portfolio available. Your personal training log of the GP Registrar and documentation to support the training process should be available for viewing.
