Who to contact if you have a problem
If you have a problem or query with your training in ST2 please contact either Sarah Still at the Friar's, RGH or Sasha in the first instance (see contact page for email and phone numbers).
HDR programme and ST1+2 study days
The ST2s have a separate HDR programme which is for ST2s in their GP placement. We will be looking in detail at the consultation during HDR. We will cover consultation models and communications skills, and learn from video analysis and group work. We also plan to offer some chronic disease management during the ST2 programme. The programme will be flexible, according to your learning needs, so please do feedback if there is anything you would especially like to be covered.
Half day release sessions start at 2pm, please be prompt. A sandwich lunch is provided from 1.30pm. Finish time is 5pm. If you cannot attend a session, please let us know.
All ST2s will be expected to attend induction and all the ST1+2 study days (highlighted below in yellow), so please remember to tell your trainer or consultant that you will be out of the practice/hospital for the whole day on these occassions. Lunches are provided.
