Half-day Release Teaching Programme

Throughout the three years there is a Half-day Release (HDR) Teaching Programme held on Wednesday afternoons in Devonshire House at the DRI.

The format of the HDR is such that all GP StRs who start in a particular year remain together (wherever possible) during the Scheme as a Tutor Group with a Course Organiser / Programme Director as the named Tutor throughout the three years of training.

Attendance at the Half-day Release Teaching is mandatory.

In the third year there are weekly sessions covering many clinical and management topics using GP Trainers and outside resources as appropriate. The “syllabus” is mainly problem / scenario based.

Assessment of the HDR sessions is carried out at the end of each afternoon and the GP StRs are involved in the planning of future programmes.
