Taunton with easy
access to beautiful countryside, historic centres, beaches, moors and
even massive music festivals at Glastonbury. Quality of life issues
score highly and added to that we can offer high quality training
practices and a well-established vocational training scheme. The three
course organisers are all experienced educationalists who are in
active and innovative practices.
The scheme is expanding and each of the nine jobs on offer will allow
the registrar an area to develop into an area of expertise to take
into general practice.During the time in the Paediatric post one
person per 6 months will be taken on as the experienced SHO and given
additional educational support so they can develop addition Paeds
skills and that will give them additional responsibility within the
unit. |
