GPSTP Half Day Release Training Programme
HDR Programme for September 2022 - August 2023
We have the following mandatory training events/days for 2022/23:-
  • ​Scheme Induction Day  -  9th August 2022, Holiday Inn, Rotherham  ( 2 x 1/2 days) 

Please note - as these dates apply to ALL GP Trainees, study leave forms are unnecessary.

Alongside these days we have our Half-Day Release sessions.  Trainees are allocated 30 days of study leave per year, 20 (40 ½ days) of these are allocated to HDR sessions (pro-rata for LTFT trainees).  Unless a Trainee is on-call, nights, post nights, post weekends etc or on annual leave then they would be expected to attend.  As a Scheme we would aim for at least 80% attendance at HDR sessions

HDR Sessions are held every Tuesday afternoon from 1.30 - 5pm (sessions commence promptly at 2pm) at Oak House, Moorhead Way, Bramley, Rotherham, S66 1YY.
