programme called "cluster based learning". Our scheme at present is

varied hospital posts. ST2 contains a 6 month rotation in a hospital
post and 6 months in General Practice. The final year (ST3) is spent

Lots of doctors want to gain experience in other cultures - many
GP trainees used to take a year out. Some went Antipodean, some did
VSO, and some did an academic course. They came back with valuable
experience and confidence which helped them perform better. New
assessments and red tape have put recent trainees off and we think
this is a shame – if you are performing well in your training then
taking a year out between ST2 and ST3 is an excellent idea.
To encourage trainees to gain experience before they settle into
general practice we have forged links with Whanganui in New
Zealand’s North Island. Trainees that pick the Hull, Barnsley or
Pennine Training Programmes get a chance to work an extra year at
Wanganui between ST2 and ST3.
Yorkshire offers excellent training and a great lifestyle. It’s
got vibrant cross-cultural influences, superb shopping, lively
pub/club scene; AND stunning countryside and coastline. Culture is
strong with famous theatres and orchestras. Sports facilities are
great for spectators and participants. Outdoor activities are the
best – three National Parks mean that clean air and open country are
always close by!
Check out Scarborough Training Programme. Where the North
Yorkshire Moors National Park meets the Heritage Coast and Dracula
meets Captain Cook, it’s one of our hidden gems, mixing exciting
scenery with high quality teaching.
All our GP Training Programmes are 3 years duration with at least
18 months in general practice. Our trainees do well in the MRCGP
exams – check out the league tables! Competition ratios are
favourable and there is usually a close match between the number of
vacancies and successful candidates.
Our allocation system helps you choose to work near your family
home, so you can go for exciting urban Training Programmes like
Hull, Leeds and Sheffield or more rural experiences in Northallerton,
Airedale, or North Lincolnshire. Training is flexible and tailored
to individuals and we have an academic intake linked to a masters’
degree if you fancy teaching or research.
Road, rail and air links are excellent to the rest of the UK and
internationally too. House prices are reasonable whether urban flats
or country cottages and schools do well in comparison tables.
Career prospects are excellent. The age profile of Yorkshire GPs
means that there will be lots of retirement vacancies when you
complete your training!
