If Things go Wrong
GP training is a busy and stressful time for doctors in training. There is so much to do and it often feels as if there is not enough time to do it. It is inevitable that things, in this challenging year, will not always run to plan.
Illness, problems in practices, specific learning needs can all conspire to cause problems. The trick is to recognise issues early, before issues become problems.
Trainers and GPRs need to discuss issues at an early stage. Any doctor in training can also meet their programme organiser (if in ST1 or ST2) or course organiser (in ST3). We understand that sometimes it can be difficult for a GPR to voice worries to their trainer (and vice versa!) and the Dorset Educational Team is here to support you.
The Associate Director, based in the GP Office at Bournemouth University will become involved in more serious issues... but is also more than happy to discuss informally with any doctor (or anybody involved in training for that matter!). If you don’t know what to do or if you are experiencing problems, at whatever stage of your career, ask!
