NW School of General Practice GP Trainer Journey
To support the ongoing expansion of GP Training and the Primary Care Workforce, the NW School of General Practice (in conjunction with the NW Training Hubs) has developed a new GP Trainer Journey. This is a 3-step pathway that will allow GPs to develop their educational skills to their preferred level.
The 3 steps of the GP Trainer journey are:
- Step 1 – Foundation Supervisor
- Step 2 – GPST Clinical Supervisor
- Step 3 – GPST Educational Supervisor
- Please select HERE for frequently asked questions in relation to these courses.
The GP Trainer Journey document also includes information about other courses you may be interested in, including the Wider Workforce Clinical Supervisor Course facilitated by the Training Hubs.
Please see here – NW Trainer Journey_1 for an overview of the current GP Trainer Journey, along with information regarding upcoming course dates, course objectives and eligibility criteria.
We will be running all courses on an ongoing basis and will advertise further dates accordingly. If you have any questions regarding any of the courses, please use the relevant contact details found inside the Trainer Journey Document.
Prior to the course you will be required to complete the accreditation paperwork and successfully complete a virtual practice visit from an Associate Dean or Lead Educator. Accreditation paperwork will be provided on the Sharepoint site provided to complete the course.

We’re looking for GPs in salaried or partner positions who are working a minimum of 3 clinical sessions a week and can do an additional 1 session a week of mentorship to become Mentors.
