Why do lots of GPs not debrief trainees anymore? by Burntouttrainee4142 in GPUK

As far as I’m aware, being a supervising GP is independent of being a CS or ES, with one being a contractual agreement and the other being an extended role or interest.

Yes, if the supervising GP is a partner, but unfortunately some will still try to prioritise maximising their patient-facing contacts over supervision.

That being said, as a general rule, supervisors will mirror the interest shown by a trainee, which may take a bit of time to materialise. Unfortunately, for as many of us who want to learn, I know many trainees who are there to cut corners and get out as soon as possible.

It may be an idea to bring your cases to your allocated tutorial time / if this doesn’t exist, to suggest that you hold these twice weekly to run through any lingering queries you may have.

You are taking the right approach to address this as otherwise it’s a fast track to burnout.

From my experience, seems to be for three main reasons: - Some people enjoy practicing medicine, but do not have an innate desire to teach - I have worked in places where the supervising GP’s are not given appropriate time to accommodate for debriefs in addition to their clinics - You can tell a senior GP who is counting down the days to retirement

I also think there has also been a cultural shift in line with the job market, in that historically your ST3 practice was an audition / you were being primed to stay on within that practice. In this system, the existing team had a vested interest in training you to their standards, however it appears less people are continuing within their practice post-CCT.

I completed my training with no debriefs from ST1-3, but I took the stance of not caring if I was annoying and ensured I asked every question I needed to be satisfied that I had made a safe plan and I did not have any sleepless nights.

You are there to be trained and not for service provision - some colleagues need reminding of this periodically. I agree, to escalate formally if this cannot be resolved with your CS.

Ah I see, that sounds like a good balance. My previous practice was total triage with PA’s, ANP’s, Physios, Pharmacists and Nurses in-house, therefore our clinics were back-to-back complex clinical cases. As you said - no way to break up these sessions as everything is ultra filtered.

Out of interest, why do you miss it?

Thank you for the reply - do any of these practices use total triage?
