As the GP community is under so much pressure at the moment, we are working with reduced capacity and have therefore taken the decision to reduce the length of placement for each group of 6 students to 6 weeks so that we give all students some GP time but not as much as was initially envisioned. The placement will now involve taking up to a maximum of 2 groups for 6 weeks rather than 1 group for 12 weeks. 

Information and Training Sessions:

1. We will be holding an informal online information session/ Q&A on Tues 28^th June 1-2pm 
2. There will be a formal, SUMDE-remunerated training session for all Year 3 GP Tutors on Wed 31^st August 2-4pm

If you wish to join either session but have not received the ZOOM link then please email gpadmin@qub.ac.uk
