Recruitment has now finished. At the final assessment centres 241 candidates were found to have achieved the competencies to be appointed and offers are in the process of being sent out to them. There were 300 vacancies so that leads about 60 rotations that have not been filled.
Last week we had an email from the Deanery asking us to suggest rotations that could be culled from our list of rotations because the Deanery has not got next years budget and is not sure whether their will be enough funding for a second round selection process.
This is nonsense - vacancies in hospital rotations will destabilise hospital departments, it risks demotivating GP trainers who have worked hard to create the extra capacity requested by the Deanery and we are moving to a NHS that is GP led so we should training more GPs, not less.
The GP part of the Deanery knows it makes sense to have a second round to fill our rotations - but if you have any influence you now know what to say!
