Yorkshire is exciting and diverse and geographically is one of the largest Deaneries. It covers the counties of North and East Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. The Deanery encompasses the cities of Leeds and Bradford, numerous smaller cities and towns including York and Harrogate, market towns such as Settle and Thirsk and seaside towns like Scarborough and Filey. It combines superb shopping, entertainment and a lively pub/club culture, with stunning countryside and coastline. Yorkshire is one of the most picturesque areas of the United Kingdom, and includes two of the UK’s twelve National Parks: the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales.

The Yorkshire Deanery offers a well-qualified and experienced network of Trainers and Educationalists committed to high quality education for General Practice. There are many exciting new educational developments including a variety of innovatory posts (for example: community based obstetrics/gynaecology, community based palliative care and community based paediatrics).

Twelve Vocational Training Schemes (VTS) coordinate Yorkshire’s postgraduate education for general practice: Airedale, Bradford, Harrogate, Northallerton, Dewsbury, Pontefract, and Wakefield, Halifax and Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Scarborough and York. A range of training schemes are offered, from structured 3-year schemes, to customised schemes tailored to meet individuals’ needs.
