General Practice Posts (also called Integrated Training Posts or ITPs)

Each trainee will be doing at least one 4 month GP(ITP) post in either their ST1 or ST2 year.

This post involves sharing of time between General Practice and Hospital with two and half days spent in a Hospital Specialty (usually Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday morning) and two days in General Practice (Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday). From August 2011 you will also be expected to work six hours per month of ‘on call’ in the GP Practice.

Whilst in this post you also have to attend fortnightly GP(ITP) Tutorials on a Wednesday lunchtime, either in the PGEC or designated practice, as well as attending the usual Tuesday lunchtime teaching session. The ITP Tutorial and Tuesday Teaching Timetables will be available at Induction.

The GP(ITP) Posts are General Practice Posts with STs spending sometime in Hospital in the following Specialities:

A&E, Paediatrics, Obs & Gynae, Psychogeriatrics, GUM, Palliative Care, Rheumatology, Drug & Alcohol, ENT, Ophthalmology and Dermatology.
