Preregistration rotations in general practice are invaluable

Accounts of the pilot scheme offering preregistration house officers the opportunity to sample general practice for four months are unanimous about the educational benefits. Illing and colleagues (p 1019) assessed the strengths and weaknesses of these rotations. They found that despite the benefits, the scheme is not expanding, mainly because of the additional supervisory burden on trainers. This may be resolved by offering placements to senior house officers, who require less supervision.
