Newham has a special style of VTS which we have developed over the last 10 years. It is popular amongst learners and trainers and is effective in producing high quality new GPs. We wish to preserve or enhance this for the future through the imminent expansion.
The key features of this style are effectively a brand and are summarised below.

• Full Day release VTS days (Held online with current Covid – 19 guidance until further notice)
• High levels of attendance – target 80% at all levels of learner
• Small group orientated, with large group (18), divided group (9), small (3-5) and micro (2-3) breakout groups as determined by the educational activity
• Interactive learner centred
• TPD (Training Programme Director) facilitated
• Structured scheme curriculum and teaching frameworks
• Inclusive – one trainers group, all levels of learner together, mix of learners
• Learners set the programme, we encourage a strong sense of leadership and onus for ones own learning
• Supportive and reflective small group case discussion
• Primary care based education tailored to the RCGP curriculum and GP capabilities expectations. Click here to see GP curriculum capabilities 
• Innovative projects such as Street Doctor and GP Simulation Training see FAQs for more information 

This is what Newham VTS does, and we do it well, and is represented by our logo, a strong group moving forward together on the road of General Practice.
