A very warm welcome to Severn Postgraduate Medical Education and congratulations on becoming part of (undoubtedly) the best GP VTS in the country!
If you’ve not been or trained in this part of the country before, you’re in for a very pleasant surprise. Whether it’s the big-city buzz you’re looking for, or the peace and tranquillity of country life, we’ve got it all. And for those of you familiar with the region, there’s not much more to be said - you’ve definitely made the right decision to stay!
In terms of training, Severn has consistently performed well-above average and is always amongst the top deaneries for exam results and success. We’ve got excellent teaching and training facilities, with many brilliant and experienced educators – so the training you receive here will no doubt stand you in good stead for the future!
To make things easier however, we’ve created a simple Induction Handbook with lots of useful information, and a wealth of hints, tips and advice. In addition, don’t forget – there’s also the excellent School website, in particular the ‘Information for Trainees’ section.
If you do ever need any more help though – please don’t hesitate to ask. As well as fantastic teams in each patch, we also have one of the most active and well-organised GP ST Committees in the country, and are well represented locally amongst the Local Medical Committees (LMCs), and nationally, on the BMA GP Trainees Committee and the RCGP’s AiT Committees. Minutes for the Severn GP Registrar Committee meetings can be found at the bottom of this page. If you have any queries or would like to get more involved in the future, email us.
And last, but by no means least, we would like to wish you all the very best for the forthcoming year, and indeed for the rest of your training, as no doubt, you will all be brilliant GPs very, very soon.
Best Wishes, the Severn GP Registrar Committee 2024-25.
