Top Tips (Kindly given by previous trainees!)

1.            Start early with your e-portfolio. If you are unsure about any aspect of this- please ask your supervisors / TPD.

2.            Attend OPD clinics - very relevant to your GP training. Particularly helpful have been GUM clinics/ ENT/ headache.

3.            Be organised - send-off documents to the lead employer St. Helena and Knowsley early on.

4.            Be organised about UUC- apply early for shifts. Let practices know in advance when you are doing your sessions. Consider UUC in both Colchester & Clacton to develop a broad range of experiences.

5.            Raise concerns early with your TPDs if these cannot be resolved by your hospital department or practice.

6.            Be aware of your entitlements:

               Mileage claims in General Practice

               Relocation costs - check GP school website

               Study leave allowance

               Claiming study budgets in a timely fashion

7.            Be sociable - keep in regular contact with your peers. We have a buddy system in place- please use it.

8.            When preparing for exams set up study groups early.
