What our current Fellows say about the Scheme...
"A great programme for newly qualified GPs with a plethora of clinical and non-clinical CPD events, great for leadership, networking, and personal and professional development - Phil and Lisa have been great and very supportive!"
“I have found the fellowship very helpful for my first year post CCT. Whilst helping to connect to other newly qualified GPs, the CPD sessions have also been very relevant and valuable. It has definitely helped ease the transition”
“I’ve been really impressed with the quality of the educational programme which is available for all fellows. Additionally, the leadership and management sessions, peer support and mentorship have all helped me find my way through the first 6 months post qualification. There is a huge jump between being a GP trainee and starting as a salaried GP and I have found the programme amazingly supportive in helping me deal with this challenge effectively.”
“Excellent programme, have learnt a lot about various areas of GP and come across many inspiring people in the process”
