The School of Primary Care supports the supervision of a range of learners including GP resident doctors (GP specialist trainees), foundation doctors in primary care and the wider multi-disciplinary team.
Our educators and learning environments are pivotal in our careers, our lives, and our proudest moments. Now is your moment to be a part of the significant milestones in someone else’s training journey.
As the NHS transforms healthcare delivery to bring care closer to communities through the government’s 10-Year Health Plan, we’re building a neighbourhood health service that delivers more proactive and personalised care.
As the driving force of our primary care system, you have the unique opportunity to shape the future of primary care. You can guide and equip aspiring GPs and primary care professionals with the skills and confidence.
Becoming a supervisor is a challenging and rewarding career move. The process of preparing the practice to supervise learners often acts as a stimulus for personal and career development.
Having learners in the team usually brings a great deal of enthusiasm to a practice and often act as a catalyst for the supervisors’ own professional development. It also brings practices service provision, additional income and help with succession planning.
You are needed now more than ever to shape the future of primary care.
