Keeping lists of misc tasks?

I'm a GPST, and at my current practice I keep being told in my debriefs to "add it to your list". I wasn't sure what my supervisor meant by this at first, but I think they mean I should be keeping a list of things to chase up with certain patient. An example is recently we got a letter from secondary care advising they had booked an upcoming scan a patient was due from our end, and for us to chase the results, and I've been told I need to keep a note of this and look out for it.

Question is... How are people keeping a robust list to refer to for things like this without things getting lost or missed? And where do you draw the line of what is something we chase Vs placing the responsibility with the patient? Any tips? I don't want to end up with hundreds of tasks...

How to gain confidence & reduce anxiety as a GP registrar?

I'm a GPST2 returning to training after a few years absence due to ill health. Prior to my absence, I had finally found some confidence in myself after many years of self doubt and imposter syndrome as an SHO, but returning after so long out has hugely knocked this confidence and I've found myself incredibly anxious about not knowing enough, asking too many questions for my stage of training and just feeling very out of practice, and it's making me dread work and feel very useless. I know some confidence will be regained with time, but I wanted to ask if anyone had found any useful recourses or had any specific tips for managing this kind of imposter syndrome/lack of confidence/anxiety if they have been through similar?

For context, I have spoken to practitioner health previously but did not find CBT all that useful for my work related lack of confidence and anxiety if I'm honest. But I'm willing to try anything, and open to any suggestions.

GP trainee home to base mileage - taxed?

Finally in a GP placement and can claim mileage via lead employer. I got my first lot back in my payslip this month and I've noticed they have taxed the expense - I assumed it was not taxable (just like study leave fees), am I wrong here and it is actually taxable?
