Educational Plan
During the course of the scheme you will be expected to create your own educational plan. To assist you with this, the 3 year Education Plan section provides information on suggested educational opportunities you might like to consider during your time in hospital and as a GP registrar. The later sections deal with the learning objectives of specific SHO jobs, namely Care of the Elderly, Psychiatry and A&E
The educational plan is a guide and will need to be adapted once you have identified your personal learning needs.
Don't forget to record all your learning in your
e-portfolio!

Care of the Elderly
During this six month post formal education in dermatology and rheumatology has been organised.

You need to be proactive to get the best out of this learning opportunity!
