Teaching Programme

We have separate teaching programmes for all three year groups, comprising of monthly teaching for our ST1s and weekly teaching for our ST2s and ST3s.

A vital component of all of our GP training programmes is our teaching, which not only imparts new knowledge from experienced practitioners, but is also a great opportunity for Trainees to share their experiences and practice for qualifying exams such as the CSA.
