Yorkshire and Humber Local Education and Training Board

I am the West Yorkshire GP representative on the interim Yorkshire and Humber Local Education and Training Board. This board will be responsible for commissioning training and education across Yorkshire and Humber to ensure a  competent current and future workforce. Clearly to deliver patient care in the future we need to ensure that there is a secure primary care workforce. It is increasingly become apparent that this will have high priority for the LETB board, but in case it does not I see my role as continually reminding the board about primary care.

The board has recently produced its first newsletter - click here to read it http://www.yorksandhumber.nhs.uk/document.php?o=8648  about the board members, background and work programmes.

 

Call me vain but none of the GP members had their photo taken! If you want to see a pretty picture of me click on my blogger profile!

Get your ESR done now!

Just a quick reminder that the local ARCP panel for trainees on the DWP scheme is Tuesday 12th June. The panels will look at every ones ePortfolios electronically to determine whether you have made satisfactory progress and whether you can be signed off and either get your CCT or move to the next year of training.

In order to do this all your workplace based assessments  need to have been completed, all the NOE requirements need doing - click here for a link to the NOE requirements on the Deanery website, you need to have a Clinical Supervisors report and then to tie it all together you need to have a completed Educational Supervisors report. In order for ARCP panel members to have time to have read your ePortfolio and assessed your progression your ESR needs doing by the end of the May.

Take home message is you need an ESR meeting by the end of May and if you have not arranged it yet do so now!
