Overall aim of this chapter: to give the reader (trainers mainly) insight into the particular needs of part timers; how they differ from full timers might be a good starting point. Common pitfalls with part time trainers and how to prevent and remedy them. Some practical pointers would be particularly good.
- What is a part time trainee (or LTFTT - less than full time trainee
- Who is eligible for LTFTT
- the particular needs of LTFTTs
- the difficulties of teaching part time trainees: difficulties for the scheme, the practice, the trainer, the trainee
- a special note on not placing a part time trainee with a part time trainer because their leave often doesnt coincide which means time for educational actiivity is reduced
- how to overcome common difficulties common to LTFTTs (e.g. shared training within the practice, good organisation, being very explicit in terms of who covers when trainer is off)
