Host organisation: Primary Care Education Unit, University of Nottingham

Vision To develop and implement, in partnership between the Primary Care Education unit (University of Nottingham) and Health Education East Midlands, a “GP education academy” to encourage long term recruitment and retention of GPs that have been locally trained and to align this with the regional retention programmes already in development.

This pilot phase, funded by the Taskforce in Derbyshire will look at GP trainees in the Derbyshire area.

Objectives 1. To develop educational skills of GP trainees in Derbyshire to perform small group teaching (including co-facilitation of medical student teaching with experienced educators in a university setting). These skills may be transferable to teach allied health care professionals 2. To develop the skills and abilities of GP trainees in supervision, to enable them to supervise undergraduate students in practice to build on the number and quality of local GP supervisors for medical students. These skills should be transferable to the allied multidisciplinary team e.g. nurses, paramedics and pharmacists 3. To promote an early portfolio career in medical education to help build resilience and promote local recruitment and retention, keeping GP registrars in the region once qualified and keeping GPs in their jobs once they have commenced work in the region 4. To create a longitudinal informal career mentoring and network to enable educational facilitators to mentor GP registrars and for GP registrars to mentor students 5. To ensure all medical students experience near peer mentorship each year to encourage an early career choice in primary care 6. To discover and develop new medical educators and educational leaders in the region, to identify talent and then to mentor and use that talent to further role out the GP academy across the region.
