The Fellowship area helps GPEP 2 and GPEP 3 registrars understand programme requirements, estimate and track clinical time, organise PDP activity and prepare useful questions for supervisors and mentors. You can capture de-identified learning cases, reflect on difficult consultations and turn your notes into a clear mentor discussion. An optional in-clinic educational workflow reinforces consultation habits such as checking results and correspondence, exploring the patient's ideas, concerns and expectations, gaining consent, safety-netting and documenting follow-up. Formal clinical records must remain in your practice management system.
