Deanery Profile
In Scotland we are passionate about General Practice and the Scottish
Executive place Primary Care at the heart of its vision for the Scottish
NHS, as outlined in the Kerr report "Building a Health Service Fit for the
Future". The four Scottish Deaneries are committed to working together to
recruit the best candidates to GP training, provide the highest quality of
General Practice training and therefore ensure that you, the future
workforce for Scottish General Practice, are of the highest standards to
deliver quality primary care to the population of Scotland.
Scotland is a beautiful country with wild rugged mountains and moors;
remote and beautiful glens; moody lochs; outstanding coastline with
undisturbed beaches and idyllic islands; vibrant cities; bustling rural
towns; an abundance of wildlife from the shy Otter to the Soaring Eagle;
and that’s before we mention the people who have a reputation for being
warm, generous and welcoming. Our training programmes reflect the
diversity of our country and people from those sited around remote and
rural areas in some of the most beautiful locations to those in our
cosmopolitan cities. There is something for every prospective GP in
Scotland, once you come for a while few leave.
As you will see from the individual Programme descriptions we provide
an extensive selection of three, two and one year GP specialist training
programmes in a variety of hospital and training practices across
Scotland. The programmes are supported by excellent teams of enthusiastic
and committed trainers, course organisers, educational supervisors,
programme directors, associate advisors and administrative staff. So
please look at our individual programmes and apply to start on the route
to one of the most fulfilling careers in Medicine.
