ST1&2: Training Pathway
Mid-Wessex GP Education is a Patch Office for the Health Education England – Wessex, looking after Primary Care training for doctors and allied health professionals in Basingstoke, Salisbury and Winchester areas.
ST1 ST2
The ST1 and ST2 years generally consist of 4 six month posts (3 in hospital, 1 in general practice).
Hospital posts are approved for general practice training by the PGMETB. Quality standards are maintained by the contract between the relevant NHS Trust and the Postgraduate Dean, and are managed by the GP VTS Programme Directors.
ST3
The GP vocational training is delivered by Programme Directors and GP trainers under the management of our Associate Dean of Postgraduate GP Education.
The ST3 year is spent in general practice with one half day per week during term time spent at the Mid-Wessex Day Release Course at the University of Winchester.
E-portfolio and Workplace Based Assessments
All GP trainees are required to complete the e-portfolio as it makes up one third of what is required for your CCT.
