The Lincoln GP Specialty Training Programme is well established and includes a wide range of excellent training practices. Lincoln is an attractive cathedral and university city with many amenities. We have a very good record of GP registrars finding local partnerships and pride ourselves on being a small, friendly and supportive scheme.
We hold an introductory residential course each year for the new registrars on the programme. There is a regular and varied programme of postgraduate medical education, based at the Postgraduate Medical Education Centre at Lincoln County Hospital. A half-day release course for the programme is run throughout the three years. The subjects discussed cover a wide variety of important matters in preparation for entry into general practice. Arrangements are also made for GP registrars to attend outpatient clinics in other specialties.
Lincoln County Hospital
Lincoln County Hospital is the largest medical centre in Lincolnshire. Serving the city of Lincoln and North Lincolnshire, it provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major A&E service. Although the hospital itself was founded over 200 years ago, the majority of the facilities have been rebuilt during the last 20 years. These include a radiotherapy and oncology unit serving cancer patients throughout Lincolnshire, and, more recently, a new intensive care unit and a new four-ward rehabilitation unit. Please see the annual reports page for the Trust’s current annual report.
The Postgraduate Medical and Dental Centre, located at Lincoln hospital, is where the weekly half-day release teaching takes place. Facilities include a new clinical skills lab, as well as a newly refurbished function room, and the Oscar Stewart Museum of Medical History.
Recently built living accommodation is available on-site: for details please see www.progressgroup.org.uk.
