The ST2 programme also referred to as GP+ or Integrated post (ITP) consists of 3 days at a general practice, (see our GP practices here). and 2 days at a clinical attachment within a service relevant to the education and training needs of GPs working in areas of deprivation. GP+ posts are split into two 6-month rotations. Please note all placements are allocated to trainees based on their previous experiences.
