Overview

Medically trained to work with nurses and consultants, our Physician Associates have the opportunity to use clinical skills, expand their knowledge and make a difference to patient care.

Our GP training programmes are available at both Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells hospital sites. These three year programmes contain a mix of hospital, community and GP practice placements, to ensure a wide and varied range of experience for every Trainee. Hospital placements are cross-site and GP practice placements will be local to the area.
