RCGP Seeks First5 CPD Fellow
2nd November
2009
The Royal College of General Practitioners is
looking for a clinician to help us develop a suite of CPD
provisions for GPs within the first five years of completion of
training.
The First5 is a new RCGP initiative
to support newly qualified GPs through those crucial first five
years up to the first point of revalidation.
There are five key pillars of
First5:
1. Connecting
with the College - promote a sense of belonging and appropriate
representation for the First5 cohort within the
College
2. Facilitating
networks – peer support and mentoring
3. Supporting
revalidation
4. Career
mentorship – making the most of a career in general practice
5. Continuous
professional development (CPD) and new skills
This post will link with the CPD Management
Work stream of the Professional Development Board and will include
responsibility for: identifying areas of CPD need for GPs in the
first five years after training, initiating work to develop
educational resources aimed at First5 and the most appropriate mode
of delivery (eLearning, workshops, etc.), reviewing existing CPD
provision and advising on opportunities to tailor those to the
needs of GPs in the first five years, liaising and working
with faculties to identify appropriate means of delivering
CPD locally.
This post holder will work closely with the
Medical Director for eLearning and the EKU Fellow to ensure
integration with the Managed CPD Strategy. The work will be
directed by the Chair of the Professional Development Board.
We anticipate a commitment of 2 sessions per
week over a twelve month period and will reimburse travel and
subsistence expenses.
The post is available from 1 December 2009 for
one year in the first instance.
Applications should be submitted by
5:00pm on Monday 16th November
2009 to Dragana Milosevic at the contact details below and
should include a covering letter outlining suitability for the role
and a current CV.
Role descriptions are available from education@rcgp.org.uk
Interviews are expected to take place on
19th November
2009 when shortlisted candidates will be
asked to provide a brief (10 minute) presentation on their vision
for the role.
