From September 2009, I, Anya Leaver, have been appointed into the new role of Educational Co-ordinator with Special Responsibility for Sessional Doctors. I have worked in the BANES area for the last decade, initially as a GP Registrar, then a Locum and a Salaried GP before becoming a Retainer and more recently an Appraiser. I am contactable via email at
anyaleaver@doctors.org.uk and I am keen to try and help provide, what you want, so please get in touch.

Sessional GPs (SGPs) do not have to be a member of Bath General Practice Educational Research Trust (BGPERT) to attend the SGP Meetings, or to access our website ( www.bathgped.org ) and its useful links. For details of how BGPERT can help you see this document Help for Sessional GPs - Appraisal and Revalidation - from BGPERT, written by Anya Leaver.
Sulisdoc is our local Sessional GP group, contactable on email
sulisdoc@gmail.com and is actively working to solve SGP dilemmas. See below for further details.
Bristol Association of Sessional GPs https://www.basd.org.uk is local, it’s website and discussion forum and information are good and it can send regular notices of job availability
The National Association of Sessional GPs http://www.nasgp.org.uk has much useful information and works hard for SGPs, particularly in this current climate of anxiety about SGP revalidation. It has just published “Locum GPs – the skills we need and how to achieve them”, a ‘core competencies’ document, and you can read more about it here. The NASG would like to hear what you think and ask that you leave a comment on their blog: they are keen to get this distributed and debated as widely as possible.

“Locum GPs – the skills we need and how to achieve them”, you can read more about it here.
www.bma.org, Sessional GPs Newsletter, which aims to keep you up to date with the wide range of new and ongoing issues affecting Salaried and Locum GPs
The NHS Appraisal Toolkit, https://www.appraisals.nhs.uk.
Appraisal news - in response to popular demand, we have managed to find a patient survey suitable for SGPs, based on the well used GPAQ, but simplified and streamlined. A copy is attached here.

Sulisdoc
Sulisdoc, your own SGP Support group is run by SGPs.
Both salaried and freelance doctors are enjoying updates about the local healthcare scene, as Sulisdoc now forwards members selected local professional healthcare mailings. We also liaise with local health organisations and help enable revalidation, not to mention the peer e-networking.
There is neither formal membership structure nor obligation time-wise. Nor is there a fee. Just considerable advantage.
