You can apply for a full time out of programme experience. It is possible to pursue postgraduate qualifications during your training, such as a masters. The guidelines have been updated in collaboration with the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) and Primary Care Dermatology Society (PCDS) and replace the 2011 Department of Health Guidelines for General Practitioners with Special Interest (GPwSI).

An accreditation service for GPwERs in Dermatology and Skin Surgery has been launched. With the support of NHS England, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has developed a generic framework to support the accreditation of GPs with Extended Roles (GPwER).

Some specialty areas of work will have more structured degree courses or diploma requirements, with others it may be experience. The opportunity to work flexibly and develop areas of clinical interest is one of the great benefits of shaping your own career. But there’s no standard route to becoming a Portfolio or extended role GP. Increasingly, GPs are taking on roles that are beyond the scope of GP training and the MRCGP that require additional qualifications. I keep reading about GPs with special interests or portfolio careers but how likely is this going to be for me? That means doctors accepted onto GP training programmes will increase the time spent in general practice by 6 months, to 2 years after completing 1 year of hospital-based training rotations, which will not alter the length of training. The planned changes came into effect from August 2021, in England and Wales only. I’ve heard there are going to be changes to the length of time it takes to train a GP and format of GP specialty training. If you have any feedback, questions you’d like answered or would like to speak to a trainee or GP to hear first-hand what it’s like to train or work in practice email. Sometimes conflicting advice or negative perceptions and comments you hear about general practice may be off putting.
