Aylesbury |
Aylesbury VTS is a dynamic and innovative scheme noted for its range
of jobs, excellent MRCGP results and creative approach to learning.
The new curriculum and MRCGP will be incorporated into a scheme that
has encompassed a comprehensive appraisal system with trainer and
consultant mid term appraisals for the past 10 years. Our pilot
programmes of 2 years and 18 months as opposed to 1 year in General
Practice have highlighted how we can design future GP training, our
community jobs allow for general practice experience in settings other
than the practice. These jobs then augment community, outpatients
experience and practice placement to “fill the gaps”. We will
endeavour to provide you with a personalised scheme that reflects both
your foundation year experiences and your future aspirations. You will
be attached to a GP practice from the very start, thereby allowing you
to focus on becoming an excellent GP from day one. You will build a 3
year relationship with your GP Trainer/mentor who will lead the
educational appraisal during your hospital placements. They will also
arrange GP contact throughout your training. Your VTS Course Organiser
and Trainer work together to provide ongoing support and education.
Extra Value
Our programme can be part of a postgraduate Masters award. You can
complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Primary Care during your time
on the scheme. Additionally, we support Public Health experience, have
Primary Care Organisation links, and research programmes for you to
link in with. We are looking to support electives in other primary
care settings during your time in General Practice. |

Wycombe |
High quality training from well-organised and supportive training
practices. A whole day protected educational session resourced by
local consultants and primary care workers – includes skills
development through video work, case discussion and critical
appraisal.
A registrar group of around 10-12 which we feel is an ideal
size for group work and mutual support.
A lovely area in which to
work, where a high proportion of local registrars choose to remain.
Schooling excellent!
