Supporting The New GPT1 Registrar
The transition from hospital work to consulting patients in the general practice setting is highly challenging. For the new registrar, the general practice environment is characterised by a wide breadth of clinical problems, chronic disease management, relative independence of decision-making, time pressures, clinical uncertainty, unfamiliar practice systems, and financial and billing issues.
The GP supervisor plays an important role to support the new GPT1 registrar as they settle into community practice. GPSA have developed a number of resources to assist the supervisor, as below. These include
- Alone: general practice – covers the ‘survival items’ for the first few week
- Clinical supervision – discusses core aspects of teaching, assessment and monitoring in the first few weeks
- Teaching and learning priorities – as stated
- The ‘not so simple consultation’ – covers some challenging clinical encounters for new registrars
