It’s simple - how can things possibly go wrong? The formal RCGP sign-off is done by your ES No contact with them, no GP study days? This just will not happen Missing assessments & log entries = No review Incomplete reviews at year-end = ARCP ARCP can: –Forgive –Make you repeat a training year –Remove you from the programme.
