West Somerset (Taunton) The West Somerset VTS is based in Taunton with easy access to beautiful countryside, historic centres, beaches, moors and even massive music festivals at Glastonbury. Quality of life issues score highly and added to that we can offer high quality training practices and a well-established vocational training scheme. The three course organisers are all experienced educationalists who are in active and innovative practices.
The scheme is expanding and each of the nine jobs on offer will allow the registrar an area to develop into an area of expertise to take into general practice.

During the time in the Paediatric post one person per 6 months will be taken on as the experienced SHO and given additional educational support so they can develop addition Paeds skills and that will give them additional responsibility within the unit.
