After 13 years as a consultant it has dawned on me that I chronically underutilise my allowance of 30 days per 3 year cycle. I added up 79 days of unclaimed study days in this time! My fault of course.

Keen to not continue this trend and now always take my allowance. Trouble is it’s not always possible or cost effective to go on courses and events, so is it acceptable/doable to simply take a weeks study leave for self-directed CPD/reading etc and utilise my full allowance this way. Another way is to find online courses and modules etc, but what about just ‘reading’?

For some reason I am included on their website for patients to provide reviews. I do not promote this website to any of my nhs or private patients. I have seen close to a thousand different patients in my private practice alone over the last 8 years and never asked for a review. For some reason one of my private patients has written a long vitriolic screed about her episode of care which greatly misrepresents my overall practice. I have reported the review. The website has no contact phone number and my requests to be removed entirely from their list of consultants have been rejected. Is this not some breach of GDPR or my own consent? Has anyone been able to successfully be removed?
