Introduction

The ST1 & ST2 years give the budding GP experience in various hospital specialities that are relevant to General Practice. In addition to the traditional four or six month posts in the key specialties, there are also innovative eGPR and Elective posts which allow one to experience more time in general practice and to tailor experience to your own needs.

The Programme Organisers run a monthly full-day release course which all ST1&2 trainees attend.
