GM Deprivation
GPST Training Programme.
ST1
In the first year, GP trainees are allocated to secondary care posts based in areas of disadvantage. These placements include Urgent Care, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Palliative Care, and Paediatrics, all of which offer training that is transferable to the role of a GP. Each trainee is assigned an Educational Supervisor who will oversee their three years of training. However, in this first year, trainees will predominantly work with their Clinical Supervisor.
