Our successful Trust Grade Programme currently employs around 200 junior doctors across both medicine and surgery divisions, ranging in grade from F2 to CT level. Rotations are every four months, April/ August/ December and you will gain skills, experience and training as you go.
You will be assigned your first rotation and then you will have the opportunity to discuss your particular interests for all future rotations and submit preferences. Your first rotation allocation may be to either a medical specialty or a surgical specialty, dependant on vacancies.
Please specify in the supporting information section of the application form whether you are primarily interested in medical or surgical specialties.

This is an amazing opportunity if you wish to gain more experience & exposure in a tertiary care centre prior to an application to a national training programme. This post would also be suitable for you if you are unsure which direction you wish to take your career and want time to consider your future direction, while still working and acquiring additional skills and experience. This post will also be of interest to you if you have elected to take time away from your training progression in the interests of work-life balance but now wish to re-establish a foothold in the profession.
You will be allocated a clinical supervisor upon commencement in post and study leave will be available to support your progress, as well as ongoing professional and pastoral support from a dedicated team.
