Foundation Year 2 placements
Nine training practices are hosting F2 rotations in 2007-8: four of the rotations are academic. F2 doctors in the other five practices will have a day out per week in a specialty to gain extra experience.
Numbers for 2008-9 are expected to be similar.

Moving to 3-year GP training schemes only
As a result of Modernising Medical Careers, candidates are being appointed in 2007 to ST1, ST2 and ST3 specialist GP training posts. From 2008 we expect there to be ST1 appointments only.
Trainees will potentially spend up to 18 months in general practice, with some days dedicated to different learning opportunities in the area.
The equivalent SHO time will offer opportunities for innovative training posts.

Training for trainers is being provided by the Deanery as part of two study days on 12 and 13 June, and also via trainer groups.
