OUT OF HOURS TRAINING

Currently GP registrars will take part in the Peterborough Out of hours service which patients access tthrough the 111 service

GP trainers remain responsible for ensuring that their registrars are appropriately trained in OOH work ccording to the COGPED RCGP position paper.	Direct clinical supervision and 'hands-on' training may be provided by another appropriate individual.
PCOs and OOH Providers will provide appropriate clinical opportunity and clinical supervision for registrars.	All trainers and associate trainers are automatically approved. Confirmation of approval of other doctors can be obtained from the relevant patch administrator.

Registrars will keep records of their OOH training in their ePortfolios. This must be a shared entry.	The Deanery will set standards for OOH training and will provide quality assurance for the whole process.

The purpose of out of hours work is to prepare GP Registrars to be safe, competent and confident in managing out of hours and emergency situations. This should be achieved through a wide range of experience and associated teaching and support. We aim to continue to offer this aspect of GP training
