Feedback and Learning Points from the Day Summary Feedback from the day was like last year and tremendously positive. All new GCs who attended the training day and submitted feedback said they would choose to attend a similar meeting in the future. Like last year only 7 of the non-STP GCs in attendance were currently using the GCTP learning contract. The reason for this given by most was that they had never heard of this contract or were not sure what it was. One person said their department has not used it before so it was not especially encouraged, but they will do so for their registration. Hopefully, now the newly updated version of the learning contract is available, this will be a useful aid in the registration process.
