About the Programme

 

We are the largest training programme in Health Education England North East and Cumbria, with over 300 postgraduate doctors on our programme at any one time,  we pride ourselves in not losing the personal touch to help all our postgraduate doctors progress through their training programme.

  • Offer opportunities to take time out of programme, for educational or personal development reasons
  • Take your expressed preferences into account when allocating rotations
