Variations

Doctors who change specialty can count some previous experience towards GP training, so may not need 3 years on the VTS

Some posts (‘community posts’) combine specialty experience with GP attachment

Posts can be half time, for twice as long Part time working and maternity leave mean that

sometimes GPRs start and finish at odd times

Modernising Medical Careers

House officer year will be replaced by 2 Foundation Years, starting Aug 2005

Six 4-month posts; 2nd year posts could include GP Hoping to find enough GP posts for all doctors doing

Foundation Year 2 in Bradford: need 12 practices This should improve GP recruitment, and hospital

doctors’ understanding of GP We hope that training practices will take FY2 doctors in

addition to GPRs, not instead
