 PGD's
Dear Locums
like yourselves I am a locum and for some time have been trying to improve the services I provide to patients.
To this end I have been forced to replicate many different PCT's training courses so that I have been able to get on their PGD's and provide enhances services.
I have suggested to several that they arrange with other PCT's a joint meeting say on NRT, with each PCT "donating" some of its training budget. Advertise it in the PJ or via the LPC's so that locums, who frequently cover many different PCT's can at the end of the course be allowed to sign up to all the PGD's of the PCT's present.
It would save already strapped PCT's money and locums time by them not having to attend several NRT courses all of which are just duplications of courses already attended.
Is this too simple or has anyone come across such a scheme?
If not then on a positive note its easy for locums to get their 30 hours CPD each year but take it from someone that has done several (but not all) different PCT courses on various subjects it is really boring attending the same stuff over and over again.
Feedback would be appreciated.
best wishes
