Out of hours
You need to complete 72 hours of OOH sessions. During ST3 these sessions need to be in a GP out of hours
provider setting (ie not ambulance/ palliative care/ walk in centre)
Your educational supervisor must give you a ‘traffic light’
rating that determines the level of supervision you need. You will start on ‘Amber’ initially in ST3 and work up to ‘green’.
Those of you doing general practice in Berkshire over the next 12 months need to attend an introductory session at Westcall if you haven’t been before, date TBA Berkshire Practices: Westcall Helen.Johnson10@NHS.net Oxfordshire Practices: OXDOCS Angela.Jones@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk Ooh.st3oxford@gmail.com (James to book shifts) Scheduling.Department@scas.nhs.uk for ambulance shifts
Out of hours continued
You need to keep a separate record of OOH
sessions attended, REALLY IMPORTANT
- Fill in an OOH form (website ‘trainee’ section in
‘downloadable resources) and ensure the trainer supervising you for the shift signs it.
- Make an OOH learning log entry on the shift and
scan on the form
- Ensure the first line of the OOH shift log entry
states exactly how many hours you worked so that panel can easily check
OOH continued
You need to book the sessions early to avoid
disappointment and inform your practice manager/trainer promptly so that they can modify your timetable.
If you work an evening shift on a weekday you will need to
start late the next morning to avoid breaching the WTD. As you are paid for OOH shifts within your contract you are responsible to make up this time at another point in your training e.g. doing an extended hour surgery.
Extended hours
Within your registrar year you are expected to get the
full range of experience of a jobbing GP, in most practices this will include extended hours
Like all your surgeries extended hours sessions should
be supervised
Any extended hours you do should be paid back with
time in lieu
...and how to survive it
