The Area<\/h3>
\n

We are based right in the foothills of Northern England\u2019s Pennines, situated between the River Roch and the picturesque Pennine village of Uppermill. We are surrounded by dramatic moorland offering exhilarating walks across the Pennines, and on towards the Derbyshire Peak District. Our geo-location offers miles of cycle ways and bridleways for walkers and riders to recharge and unwind in the great outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short journey away is the vibrant city of Manchester; a great place to live and visit following years of regeneration. Manchester boasts excellent amenities, including the famous Trafford Centre for shopping, museums, art galleries, restaurants and of course the home of Manchester United and Manchester City football clubs. The Area has great transport links to The Lake District and its very own Metrolink Trams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pennine GPST Programme covers Bury, Rochdale, Heywood, Middleton, North Manchester & Oldham. So you will have easy access to this great countryside, where you can enjoy semi-rural general practice while still having modern shopping centres and shopping institutions such as world Famous \u201cBury Market\u201d. There are fabulous restaurants and a vibrant city nightlife right on your doorstep.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Training Programme<\/h3>
\n

The Programme is run by a dedicated, enthusiastic team of Educators, Trainers and Administrators, supported by Health Education England North West and our Hospital colleagues. The Pennine GP Training Scheme is a 3-year programme which offers a range of GP placements in Bury, North Manchester, Oldham and Rochdale.

Our innovative training programme offers GP placement in rural and small town settings, and a wide variety of hospital posts across 4 sites including Fairfield General Hospital, Royal Oldham Hospital, Rochdale Infirmary and North Manchester General Hospital. Hospital placements are for six months, giving you an opportunity to gain exposure to a wide range of specialties during ST years 1&2. You will complete three hospital posts in your ST years 1 & 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ST1&2 there is a Structured Education Programme which takes place each Thursday afternoon during term time. This is primarily based at Fairfield General Hospital Education Centre. This has a mixture of lectures and small group work and our innovative \u2018Focus Groups\u2019 for those Trainees in GP Plus Posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
