Getting started with GP education in the North East

Shape the future of primary care and discover the impact you can make.  Remember that educator who inspired you during your training? The supervisor who challenged you to develop new skills? Now it's your turn to make that difference.

Having doctors in GP training has brought clear advantages to both the surgery and its patients. Patients can get appointments quicker. We can now host GP resident doctors in ST1 and ST3, demonstrating how education increases both training capacity and improves patient access to care.
