Picture this: Wales, a land of rolling hills and valleys, ancient castles, and vibrant culture, is also home to some of the most exceptional GP training in the UK. I can’t say I’m not at all biased myself, but here’s why it’s an absolute gem for aspiring doctors:

Thriving Feedback: Just like the melodic voices singing: Imagine a symphony of applause echoing through the valleys. That’s the sound of GP trainees in Wales expressing their sheer delight with the training they receive. The annual GMC surveys consistently shower Wales with praise for its clinical and educational supervision. 🌟

Nurturing Excellence: In the heart of Wales, doctors embark on a journey of growth. The specialty training program is like a finely crafted Welsh dragon – fierce, yet supportive. It’s all about quality here – from hands-on experience to mentorship. I for one have had some absolutely amazing trainers in my time and likely you’ll experience the same. 🌠

NHS Wales Magic: As part of the grand NHS Wales recruitment campaign, doctors training here get the VIP treatment. Imagine a backstage pass to a concert – that’s what they receive. High-quality training, ongoing support, and a community that cheers them on. 🎤

Golden Incentives: Hold your breath – doctors who kick off their GP training voyage in Wales from 2017 onwards might just find a £20,000 treasure chest waiting for them in certain areas. It’s like finding a pot of gold at the end of a Welsh rainbow! 🌈

Trailblazing Model: Wales isn’t content with ordinary – it’s all about innovation. Picture this: trainees spend 12 months in hospital-based adventures (think stethoscopes and adrenaline) and then 24 months in the heart of general practice (where patients become friends. Well almost. The team definitely :D). It’s like a medical rollercoaster with breathtaking views!

GPSAT: The Academic Quest: But wait, there’s more! Every recruit to GP training in Wales gets an exclusive invite to the GP Specialty Academic Training (GPSAT) program. It’s like stepping into a secret garden of academic possibilities. Imagine a career that starts in specialty training but blooms into an academic GP wonderland.

So, my friend, if you’re dreaming of becoming a GP, pack your stethoscope, grab your Welsh phrasebook, and head to Wales – where the mountains whisper medical secrets and the valleys sing success stories! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨

Croeso!
