Additional information

Pembrokeshire General Practice (GP) specialty training programme is committed to supporting GP trainees with their development. Training and living on the beautiful West Wales coast, whilst working with a range of professionals and committed colleagues, will fully support you to succeed.

The site-locations listed here for each post may vary due to organisational changes within the department or host practice. Trainees may be expected to travel to a different location during their placement e.g. to a branch surgery.

Fixed rotations are not available. However, GP Programme Directors take into consideration each trainee’s prior hospital-based experience and endeavour to offer posts that complement this. We want to ensure our GP trainees have a broad base of hospital experience.  This cannot be guaranteed and depends on the hospital rotations available for each recruitment round. Trainees are not able to choose their GP training practice as allocation depends on availability at the time rotations are set.

We have strong working partnerships with hospital consultants and GP practices, with regular discussion around improvements and support.

We offer:

  • protected half-day release (HDR) and a comprehensive teaching programme
  • child health surveillance and women’s health specific courses
  • member of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) examination preparation led by our highly experience RCGP tutor and examiner
  • Dedicated educational and clinical supervisors
  • High quality training practices
  • Close working relationships with our consultant colleagues.
  • Hospital based medical education centre and library service.
