Shropshire Vocational
Training Scheme is a
well-established scheme with a good reputation for excellence.
We have a proven track record for delivering quality
training
in a flexible learner centered manner.
We
have a particularly rich pool of training practices within
Shropshire many of whom have been training for many many
years. We run a system whereby the registrars choose their
practices rather than having them allocated. In the past
we have had more training practices than prospective registrars
which has always offered a wide choice for the GP component
of training... however the numbers of registrars coming
to Shropshire is on the increase and we would suggest
that people who are looking for positions contact practices
early to save disappointment. To find out which practices
are available contact Carole Gerrard (see
contacts) or see details listed on this website under
TRAINING PRACTICES.
Course Organisers

component of the scheme is divided between the Royal Shrewsbury

educators (COs) and a very well organised course administrator
who would all be happy to speak to any prospective applicant
