Attending the Basic Trainers Course is the first step to become a trainer.

This course will introduce several areas:-

·      

The structure of a training practice

·      

Educational theory related to one to one teaching and assessment

·      

Consultation teaching

·      

Curriculum planning using the RCGP curriculum

·      

The assessment process for doctors in GP specialty training

It will help you develop teaching skills using group based experiential learning.

Although the course will focus on teaching a doctor in GP specialty training it will enable you to supervise and teach a variety of other learners in your practice. This may include medical students, foundation doctors and nurses.

Places will not be guaranteed and applications will be shortlisted. Applications will be prioritised if we are oversubscribed as follows:

·      

To those based in a non-training practice

·      

where a new training placement can be provided

·      

If you are replacing an existing trainer

PLACES ON THE BASIC TRAINERS COURSE FOR 2018 MUST BE PRE-BOOKED.
