Introduction and Documentation

There is a requirement for OOH work to be done during ST1 or ST2 placements in GP practices-this is in addition to your working week.  The requirement is to undertake 36hrs over the 6m placement, ideally in sessions of 4 hours.

This is an opportunity to experience and learn about OOH services for patients in a variety of setting provided by a variety of professionals other than that provided by UCS.  You can discuss local contacts for opportunities and services with your trainer.  For example:-
  • With the Ambulance service
  • In a Darzi Centre, 
  • With the Mental Health Crisis intervention service
  • Social Services out of hours team
  • Twilight nursing team
  • Community Palliative care team
  • In a secondary care setting-with approval of your trainer/Educational supervisor-eg Acute Paediatric assessment ward.

The Deanery Guidance on OOH is an essential read for ALL trainees.

A record form of each session attended must be completed and signed by your supervisor, and a running log must also be updated and uploaded to the ePortfolio.

Further relevant links and information can be found on the right.
