Intending Trainers

Thinking of becoming a trainer?

Perhaps the first step would be to find out more about what training involves, the challenges you may face, the rewards, and how the programme can support you through the process of becoming a GP trainer. Contact us and arrange a meeting with one of the Training Programme Directors (TPDs), who will be able to answer your questions.

New Trainers

Support

TPD Dr Tom Gallagher is the lead for supporting new trainers. 

Support visit before starting training

After you have completed the Intending Trainer course and also the supervised training module course, a TPD from the programme will contact you, usually by email or phone to arrange a visit to your practice, and to meet your practice manager.

6 week support contact

The program will offer a form of support contact with the new trainer 6 weeks into having their first trainee. This may take the form of a phone call, visit or email depending on the new trainer's needs.

New Trainer Appraisal

We will aim to have completed your first trainer appraisal 12 months after your accreditation date.
