The Winning Poem

My first patient was dear old Santa
Who had lost all his jolly banter

He had turned to drink

And struggled to think

So I suggested sticking to fanta

I called in Mrs Claus

Who was struggling to find the cause,

She was flushy and hot

And was loosing the plot

We agreed it was menopause 

Next came a bunch of Elves,

They had piles from sitting on shelves,

They were tender and sore

And couldn’t take any more

I advised scheriproct to insert themselves 

Last came Rudolf the reindeer

He was lacking Christmas cheer

His nose was red

He wanted his bed

Self-care was the best idea

I'll see them all again next year!

Christmas Cheer at Group Work

Grampian GPSTs used the final session of Day Release of 2019 to experience the RCGP Capabilities in a new and different way.

With activities including tin foil modelling, a quiz, poem writing, jenga and charades the trainees demonstrated their skills in communication, community orientation, working with colleagues and fitness to practice.

The tin foil modelling was judged by TPD, Vicki Guthrie and the poems by TPD, Monica Milne.

With prizes for the winners of each activity, the trainees and group leaders also sported their Christmas Jumpers to rasie money for Save the Children.
