Sharing Concerns

Below is information if you have any concerns regarding your Primary Care Student Doctors whilst they are on placement with you.

Professionalism concerns

Any GP Tutor noting a lapse in professionalism in a Student Doctor must record this using the Measuring Professionalism Form. When completing the form, you will select the relevant professionalism lapse from a given list. Following this, you will need to provide details of the context/location of the reported incident and details of any impact on staff and patients. You will also need to indicate whether the incident is an isolated one or is recurrent. The School of Medicine strongly encourages staff submitting the forms to discuss this with the student prior to submission. If this hasn’t been discussed, then the reasons for this should be made clear on the form. If you have any queries about the process, please contact the Student Progress Team (progress.mbchb@liverpool.ac.uk).

Wellbeing and safety concerns 

If you have concerns about a student’s wellbeing you should report this to the School via the Sharing Concerns Form. This system enables staff, clinicians and Students to raise concerns regarding:

• Patient safety and Student safety
• Discrimination, harassment, undermining and bullying
• Urgent placement concerns (with guidance)
• Wellbeing
• Progress.

Academic concerns

If you have concerns about your student’s academic performance, please use the ePortfolio to log your concerns. When raising academic concerns, we ask that you please be as detailed in your ePortfolio entries as possible.
