The VTS and Deanery teams are responsible for the educational aspects of your training but are not involved in your employment. For queries regarding anything to do with your contracts or pay you will need to contact the single lead employer

Study Leave Process:

When in a GP placement complete the “request for funding” form (See below) and send that back to Vicki Wynn at Deanery ( Vicky.Wynn@hee.nhs.uk ) once it has been signed by your ES and PD. If they in a hospital placement then continue to request through the Trust.

Study leave requests do not get sent to the Lead Employer. The Lead Employer will receive a spreadsheet from HEE giving details of all approved study leave requests whilst in hospital posts and they will then reimburse the trainee via their payroll. If in a GP placement then they continue to send their claim to us and they will be paid directly from us as they are now.

Information related to appraisal post CCT:

When training is complete please ensure that the status on the performers list is changed. The Form NPL3 needs to be completed https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/npl-3-national-performers-lists-change-notification-form/ and returned to the email address on the form. Once this is done each local team is aware of the GP and they will be offered an appraisal within the first year of practice. At present GPs are contacting the office about their appraisal having not been allocated, we are happy to help once we are aware of them on our local list in South Central.

PDP at end of training. It is becoming more common for GPs at their first appraisal to deny all knowledge of a PDP. In fact they would have agreed one for their first year in practice at their final review with their trainer. Appraisal is a useful opportunity to review how those plans have gone and to agree development goals for future practice. A focus in the final review of looking forward to the demands of independent practice and what learning may be needed for this will help here.

Thames Valley are compiling local advice to add to our own page on the NHS England website; while this is in preparation doctors in the final phase of training should read the RCGP guidance on how to prepare for appraisal and the NHSE Medical Appraisal Guidance.
