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
