Tracks
The GP Training Scheme in Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Furness General Hospital runs over 3 years. The first 1 year (ST1 / 2) are in secondary care in 2 different hospital posts, (part GP/part specialty). The 2nd & 3rd years are spent in general practice (ST 2 /3 ).
The tracks are allocated by the Programme Directors at each site. Previous experience and personal preferences are taken into account when allocating tracks. However, it is not always possible for everyone to have a track of all their first choice posts.
FGH tracks: There are 12 tracks available in FGH which include posts in:
- Paediatrics
- Obstetrics and Gynaecology
- Psychiatry
- Medicine
- Accident and Emergency
- Primary Care Network
- FGH GP + Posts (60% GP & 40% Specialty): are available in Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynae, Accident & Emergency, Primary care network, and Medicine.
The posts are based at Furness General Hospital, Dane Garth Mental Health unit and general practices throughout the Furness area.
