In this month’s episode our host Dr Sophie Lumley is joined by Dr Nicky Wilson, a GP appraiser since 2018. Nicky outlines her career journey so far, the skills required to be appraiser, benefits of the role and much more. Top tips: Build a career to suit you – the role offers flexibility in terms of how many appraisals you want to take on each year (usually up to 22-24) and these can be done at a time that suits you and your appraisee. You also need to consider the time dedicated both before the appraisal for preparation and the write up afterwards in your overall time commitment. Seek inspiration from others – Nicky enjoys finding out what others are doing as part of their personal development plans (PDP) and is often inspired by their ideas for innovative practice and new ways of working. Some of these ideas may inspire you to make improvements in your own GP practice. Reach out to your local networks – if you want to become an appraiser, Nicky advises that you reach out to your local appraiser team about recruitment opportunities and application process. If you aren’t successful the first time – don’t give up! Ask for feedback and apply again. Consult with your colleagues – as an appraiser, Nicky states she was assigned a senior appraiser who she could seek advice from. She also attends small group meetings facilitated by experiences appraisers where they come together to talk about new guidance on appraisal/revalidation, difficult cases etc. Consider brushing up on your soft skills – Nicky suggests coaching/mentoring training can help bring out these soft skills beneficial when applying to be an appraiser such as empathy, good listening skills and providing constructive feedback to others. Dr Nicky Wilson is a GP in Gloucestershire and has a portfolio role working as an Appraiser.

This month we hear from Dr Egbe Efefaroro, a GP who took up an interest in Undergraduate Medical Education at Keele University. Egbe talks to Sophie about her love for teaching her Year four medical students, how she got into the role and her advice for those interested in pursuing a career in this area. Top tips: Gain taster experience: Get involved with your local medical school for example as a casual tutor; personal development tutor; GP tutor for students assigned to your practice or volunteer as OSCE examiner. If interested, send an email to the medical school about any opportunities to get involved It’s a win-win: You can learn a lot from teaching and interacting with students. Egbe says that this keeps her fresh and up to date with the latest guidelines which is also useful for her own learning and professional development. This in turn also benefits her patients in general practice which is a win-win! Do I need additional qualifications? Egbe recommends obtaining a postgraduate degree in Medical Education i.e PgCert, PgDip or Masters - offered by various universities either in-situ or online, usually as a part time programme to allow learners to do it alongside their clinical work. Egbe did the one at Keele University. Do a ‘Teach the Teachers’ course . This is a two-day course designed to help clinicians learn about educational concepts and techniques to deliver effective clinical teaching sessions. This is offered free by some universities for clinicians who have contact with their medical student Become a role model: Inspire the next generation of doctors through your love of teaching and general practice. Share your interesting cases with your students, what surprised you? How did you deal with difficult situations? This may in turn inspire and encourage them to pursue a career in general practice. During a time of recruitment and retention crises in general practice this may help to future proof the profession. Dr Egbe Efefaroro is a GP in Stoke-on-Trent and a Clinical Lecturer in Medical Education in the School of Medicine at Keele University Staffordshire.

This week, Dr Sophie Lumley interviews Dr Rachel Taylor, a GP partner, Trainer, Appraiser and Mentor who works mainly as a GP but also in sexual health clinics. Rachel outlines her career journey, ideas of how to get into this area of work and her highlights of the role. Top tips: Consider the motivation for the role: Be very clear what your drivers are for taking on the additional role e.g. is it an area you have a passion for, is it to have more flexibility in your career or even increase your income? Once you have established your ‘why’ seek out the opportunities. Embrace the flexibility : Your life can change over the years with family and career commitments but you can find a role to suit you. You may be able to pick up shifts in your local sexual health clinics to suit your schedule. Increase your competence with a qualification: There are qualifications such as the DFSRH which fits very well with general practice with a very well resourced, accessible website and achievable qualification if you are already doing your GP training. Start your search close to home: Not sure where to start? Rachel recommends contacting your local gynae clinics and offer to sit in and speak to the team about opportunities available. Most local sexual health services are run by public health which is another option to explore. You could also join webinars/events on sexual health and contact those who are teaching on it directly about opportunities or further study. There may be funding available: If you want to gain expertise in sexual health ask your practice if they can fund you to train in fitting coils/implants, but you should also be prepared to fund yourself or do it in your own time. Another option for funding could be through a fellowship scheme. Sometimes bursaries are available which could be used to backfill some of your time or pay for you to go on courses and enable you to work elsewhere. Dr Rachel Taylor is a GP Partner, Trainer, Appraiser and Mentor. She has a special interest in Sexual Health and is a DFSRH Faculty Trainer. She works mainly as a GP but has always worked in Sexual Health clinics to support her interest, clinical skills and awareness in this area.

In this episode we hear from Dr Alistair Robertson, a GP with a special interest in frailty speak to Dr Sophie Lumley about his experience of getting into this area of work, how to seek out opportunities in frailty if you want to get involved and his downsides and highlights of the role. Top tips: Make the most out of your networks - Seek out any hospital frailty teams or your GP practice the frailty lead. Don’t be afraid to speak to them to find out how to get involved, do some home visits or basic frailty or comprehensive geriatric assessments to familiarise yourself with the work Upskill yourself – It's always helpful to increase your knowledge base on frailty by completing a diploma in geriatric medicine for example, but it’s not essential when starting out Determine what sort of doctor do you want to be - find an area where you can be that doctor that you want to be. It's within every GP to go off and do these things as it's all the things you've learned coming into play that you excel at with our communication, working with other teams and being the hub for the care of the patient Apply yourself – with frailty you don’t need to carry any separate medical skills that other doctors don’t have; it's just you maybe have a little bit more opportunity to apply what you do know Endless learning opportunities – frailty is an area of work that is growing exponentially year on year due to an ageing population. You have a chance to learn from your team and your patients which is an exciting addition to the ‘day to day’ GP role. Dr Alistair Robertson is a former EDM Record Producer who retrained as a doctor and went on to specialise as a frailty doctor, with a particular special interest in headaches on the side.

In this episode, Dr Sophie Lumley interviewed Dr Nadia Tharib, a GP with an interest in expedition medicine, mountain medicine, tropical and humanitarian medicine. Find out how Nadia got into this field of work, the challenges and the highlights of her role and more! Top tips The variety is unmatched - From following a group of teenagers doing a Duke of Ed to going to going to Mount Everest basecamp, there is huge variation in what constitutes as expedition medicine Educate yourself - There are courses available to provide education in expedition medicine. There are also diplomas and masters level qualifications. These are a great way to build your knowledge and confidence and to network with like-minded people but they are not essential to be an expedition medic Make friends for life - Expedition medicine is an exciting opportunity to meet a range of really interesting people, make friends for life and share your incredible stories with your patients in your day to day GP job! It’s never too early to start - Don’t be afraid to explore courses you are interested in early on in your GP career journey. Nadia completed an expedition medicine course in her F2 which helped her to think on her feet and improvise – great skills that compliment everyday general practice Trust your gut - In expedition medicine, have the confidence to recognise a sick patient when you see one and be prepared to potentially manage them on your own. Is it for you? Nadia advises to go on a trip as a member first to find out if you enjoy expedition medicine, as it may not be suitable for everyone. For example being ‘on-call’ during the expeditions in often hostile environments whilst always remaining calm and positive can be challenging. Dr Nadia Tharib is a GP Partner in Shropshire. She has an interest in expedition medicine, mountain medicine, tropical and humanitarian medicine. Nadia holds the UIAA Diploma in Mountain Medicine and the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
