We are based across Swindon, Cirencester, Kennet and Northwest Wiltshire and are proud to be part of the Severn Deanery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swindon is a large town with all of the amenities that you would expect for an urban area of its size, however it is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. It is well located, with excellent road and rail links to Bristol, the Southwest, Oxford, Bath and London.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our patch is a fantastic place to live and work, and the educational and training opportunities available here complement this. Great Western Hospital NHS Foundation Trust hosts our secondary care posts and we have a diverse range of rural and urban GP training practices providing training in primary care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our education programme provides regular sessions for Doctors in Training (DiTs) through the half-day release course (HDRC), which takes place on Wednesdays. We also host events for trainers and work closely with the Swindon Education Trust (SET), who are the CPD provider for our local area. See the \u2018About Us\u2019 tab for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/swindon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2024\/04\/Severn-GP-Celebration-190723-312-1-11.jpg\" alt=\"Severn GP Trainee Celebration event hosted at Gloucester County Cricket Pavilion.\" class=\"wp-image-4384\" style=\"width:960px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/swindon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2024\/04\/Severn-GP-Celebration-190723-312-1-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/swindon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2024\/04\/Severn-GP-Celebration-190723-312-1-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/swindon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2024\/04\/Severn-GP-Celebration-190723-312-1-11-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/gp-training.hee.nhs.uk\/swindon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2024\/04\/Severn-GP-Celebration-190723-312-1-11-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">July 2024 &#8211; Severn GP Trainee Celebration event hosted at Gloucester County Cricket Pavilion, Bristol. \/\/\/ Photo \u00a9 Tim Gander.
