Kettering |
We are a long established scheme in north
Northamptonshire. We value people as individuals, and seek to promote
an ethos of life long learning within committed primary care teams. We
have a tradition of innovation with several years experience of
extended general practice training. Our registrars like it so much,
that many of them join local practices and continue to contribute
locally. Kettering General Hospital is known for its friendly
atmosphere and we have a course organiser with special responsibility
for SHO development. We have a variety of experienced training
practices in both town and rural settings. Our academic half day
programme is devised and often led by the registrar group. We have
regular Away Days, when trainers and registrars share and learn
together at a local country conference centre. The Kettering
district is well supplied with good schools, pleasant countryside,
sports and leisure facilities. Housing is still relatively cheap, and
transport links are good to London, and the Midlands. Three
international airports are within one hour’s drive. |

Leicester |
Variety of opportunity & environment for
training ensures Leicester continues to attract doctors with diverse
interests & experience. As a large scheme, we can offer flexible
training & have the capacity to match training needs if previous
experience is accredited. We have a history of innovation in our
half-day release provision having developed & evaluated a curriculum
rather than a rigid timetable. We use simulation in training as a
matter of course & achieve above average success in Summative
Assessment. Leicestershire boasts a thriving city & the surrounding
countryside is considered a bonus to being part of the Leicester VTS. |

Northampton |
Northampton is home to one of the country’s best rugby
clubs and a brewery that claims it produces “probably the best lager
in the world” and we are also probably one of the friendliest and most
supportive schemes in the country.
The best way to find this out for yourself is to speak
to one of the doctors on the scheme or one of the course organisers.
We would be happy to show you around, and have enough flexibility in
the scheme to accommodate a variety of training needs. We try to
integrate the hospital jobs with general practice by spending one week
in a practice during each of the hospital jobs.
We’re constantly looking to improve and develop the
scheme and would welcome you as a part of the team. |
