I was away at the West Yorkshire Locality Primary Care Educators seminar at Harrogate yesterday. This is a meeting of local training programme directors. In the past these events have lasted two days with an overnight stay, but they are now reduced to just one day - alas the 'proper English breakfast' has gone, but that is probably good for my waistline anyway!
At our meeting yesterday a constant theme through all of our discussions was how tight money is for training, there is none for expansion and management costs are expected to be drastically reduced. So, as well as me missing my proper cooked breakfast one of the things current trainees will notice is some tightening up on the rules for travel and accommodation claims. It was agreed yesterday that the Deanery will no longer reimburse travel and accommodation for attendance at exams - so from now on you will have to pay your own way to get to Croydon for the CSA!
