Aberystwyth

Additional information

All General Practice (GP) training practices on the Aberystwyth scheme are multi-trainer practices offering exposure to both urban and rural general practice.

The site-locations listed above 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 ensures 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 time of setting the rotations.
