The Trainer Seminar is mandatory for GP trainer re-approval. It is also an excellent course with the opportunity to reflect on your skills and development as a trainer.
It is the Trainers responsibility to ensure that they have attended this course in each re-approval cycle.
If you do not attend in the re-approval cycle, then you will not be re-approved as a trainer.
You will receive an email invitation around the midway point of your re-approval cycle containing a survey to provide your availability. You will then be allocated a seminar to attend, this is booked via MaxCourse and you are required to have an account. If you do not already have an account instructions are available here or below.
If you haven't received an invitation when expected and you require to attend a seminar please email gpts.yh@hee.nhs.uk to let the team know.
**Please note, as we were unable to run any seminars for majority of 2020 we are currently working through a backlog of Trainers required to attend prior to their reapproval date so you may not recieve an invitation at the midway point. We hope to make our way back to this soon**
If you have any queries regarding the re-approval process, please contact the Approvals Team on gpapprovals.yh@hee.nhs.uk
