I&R Handbook 2011-12 - V7 - London Deanery

Mentoring
The I and R scheme doctors are eligible for up to a total of 4 sessions of funded
mentoring at the time that they think this best suits their needs from when they are
accepted onto the scheme, i.e. when they start to explore possibilities for a clinical
placement, through to 2 years after they complete the scheme. Further information is
available on the Mentoring website including the eligibility criteria.
(http://mentoring.londondeanery.ac.uk/). However this is subject to the availability
of funding.
End points
• Doctors are required to give evidence of successful completion of their placement
by returning the structured NHS log book (completed by their clinical supervisor) at
the end of the placement.
• An “exit” simulated surgery is undertaken and the I&R doctor needs to liaise with
the admin staff at the Deanery to organise the timing.
• The Exit MCQ is in the form of the AKT test. This is an applied knowledge test run
by the Royal College of General Practitioners. Booking of this 'Exit' is the
responsibility of the Induction and Refresher doctor. Delay in the timing of taking
this examination could result in not receiving a 'Certificate of Completion' of the
Scheme.
These tools enable the Deanery to advise the PCT that the doctor has successfully
completed the GP Induction and Refresher Scheme. The doctor receives a certificate of
successful completion of the placement.
