Mansfield |
Mansfield is situated in the
heart of ancient Sherwood Forest with easy access to the countryside
of Nottinghamshire and the Peak District. For those who like a lively
lifestyle, the cities of Nottingham and Sheffield are just 14 miles
away. The M1 is just 3 miles away for those who wish to get away from
time to time. Newark is more rural but also has some light industry.
Both have some pockets of deprivation.

a district general hospital with plans to expand and improve patients
services over the next few years. |

Boston is a delightful
Lincolnshire Market Town of 36,000 population situated at the
north-west corner of the Wash. Boston VTS is one of the oldest
schemes in the country and offers excellent personal training for
General Practice. The course is for three years, starting either in
August or February. The 3 years’ training comprises 18 months in
general practice and 18 months in hospital specialties. This increased
training in general practice has resulted in the Boston Vocational
Training Scheme becoming one of the more innovative schemes in the UK.
The GP Registrars think highly of the Scheme and many of them have
decided to practise locally on completion of their training. |
