About Our Training Programme

We are a long-established and popular scheme whose practices lie in the leafy suburbs of South West London.   Training practices are based in Kingston, Twickenham, Ham, Richmond, Sheen, Barnes, Putney,  Roehampton, Surbiton, New Malden, Raynes Park and Wimbledon.  The area is home to a wide demographic range, with affluence living alongside poverty: GP Registrars based here can expect to gain experience with the health needs of a large swathe of society.

The Kingston & Roehampton GP Training Programme (VTS) is centred around Kingston Hospital, which is also where the weekly half-day release course is based.  Several other local hospitals also form parts of the attachments.

Training and teaching takes place within the hospitals, in the practices, in the trainer groups and in the training programme.  Each of these aims to be responsive to the needs of individual learners whilst delivering high quality professional education and training.

The training programme operates a weekly half-day release course on a Wednesday afternoon, based on three academic terms.  The course is attended by GP Registrars at every stage of training.

We are home to two dynamic and forward-thinking trainer groups, each of which runs a weekly Trainer-Registrar meeting for GP Registrars currently in General Practice.
