Abstract
It is well-established that GP trainees do not feel confident when transitioning to independent practice. In 2019, the Nottinghamshire GP Phoenix Programme Trainee Transition Scheme (TTS) was established to improve this transition and encourage local retention of newly qualified GPs. The TTS has been evaluated by surveying a total of 344 trainees from August 2022 to August 2023 using an electronic Google Form. Two-thirds of the trainees surveyed felt the mix of TTS-led non-clinical topics and trainee-led clinical topics taught during their locality time were useful for their learning. 72% felt that the TTS would influence their decision to remain working locally after qualification. Based on these positive findings, it is proposed that the TTS should be adopted in other areas to improve both transition and retention of newly qualified GPs.
