Learning Needs….

Topics… Joint Tutorials…

Why is this important ? Trainee perspective Increasingly practices have more then one trainee.. Trainees learn from each other Supportive environment for learners Opportunity to cover many aspects of mandatory training (see later) Scope to cover broad areas in curriculum (see later)

Why is this important- Training practice perspective Joint Tutorials are a means of helping to provide mandatory teaching for more then one learner, but reducing impact of loss of appointments from a trainer Rota impact- ease of one tutorial for all/ availability of duty.

Role of the trainer Need to an effective facilitator Skills required to ensure that all trainees engage in the process. Planning required to ensure that each trainee is aware of their role in the tutorials. (next slide)
