How to apply for GP training

Speciality training for general practice is based on a three year programme. Programmes are organised through the postgraduate deneries which are organised geographically across the UK.

 

From August 2007, these programmes will be based on the RCGP Training Curriculum which has been approved by the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB).

 

It is RCGP policy that doctors wishing to train for general practice should undertake the 3 year run through specialty training programme.

 

Applicants who wish to apply for entry to a 3 year GP training programme will need to apply through the National Recruitment Office for GP Training.

 

Selection into GP training is now based on person specifications and to apply for ST1 entry you will need to demonstrate eligibility against the ST1 person specification.

 

You should be aware that only full 3 year (ST1) GP training programmes will be available from August 2009. Vacancy details will be published on www.gprecruitment.org.uk
