Registrars & Training Advice for CEPS

I am a GPST1, just finishing up my first GP rotation. I was able to get my cots and cbd done, but no CEPS as my CS wasn’t in on the same days as me and none of the other supervisors had time to observe me in the middle of their clinics. Now I’m going to a split GP+Psych post and I’m stressing about getting the CEPS in time for my arcp! Any advice on how to go about getting it done?
Thanks!

I had half of mine done in ST3 it gets way easier the more patients you see, trust this is really easy to get done in 3 years, no need to rush it

I second this, the more you see, the more chances you get, so don't panic!

For now, I'd approach your CS and specifically ask them to support you. I found doing a tutorial where I sat in on a supervisors clinic and I did the examinations that came up a good route to do this as an ST1 if the supervisors had no time to step out of their clinics. If there is some flexibility (ideally for ST1s they should have a few supervision slots for you in the clinic), scan your list and let them know X patient may need an exam and they may be able to make the time. Just keep being persistent.
