As a new GP trainee, I am very pleased with the choice I have made. I feel General practice is unique specialty which emphasises the patient centred approach. Through this in mind, I feel the programme directors have also given the trainees this same value as we learn to give our patients, which is a trainee centred approach. I feel we get a lot of attention and can influence our training and teaching we receive. Having events such as away days allows the programme directors to connect with us as trainees. We are also given the opportunity to connect together as a group of trainees so that we can support each other through the struggles we face daily. I feel that by being given these opportunities to connect to our peers and programme directors, we will continue to be take pride in being a supportive speciality.”
