During the course of your training with us, you will spend time at both hospital sites depending on the specialty you are working in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GP training schemes are 3 years in length (whole time equivalent), and ours includes a total of 16 to 20 months in general practice, with either 4 or 8 months in general practice during your ST1 and ST2 years in addition to the whole of ST3. The remainder of the 3 years is spent in hospital posts. Time in general practice is going to be gradually expanded, with the aim that everyone who starts in August 2022 has 24 months.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nhsblocks-panel1 nhsuk-panel is-style-panel-with-label\"><h3>Specialties we cover<\/h3><div class=\"paneltext\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Obstetrics &amp; Gynaecology  <\/li><li>Paediatrics <\/li><li>General Medicine <\/li><li>Elderly care<\/li><li>Accident and Emergency<\/li><li>ENT<\/li><li>Palliative Care<\/li><li>General Practice <\/li><li>Integrated posts in clinical commissioning<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nhsblocks-panel1 nhsuk-panel is-style-panel-with-label\"><h3>Learning Opportunities on our Programme<\/h3><div class=\"paneltext\">\n<p>We provide learning opportunities throughout the training programme, with monthly half day teaching sessions during your hospital posts, then our varied and interactive weekly Half Day Release (HDR) programme during GP posts.
