GP Training at Cwmbran Village Surgery

Cwmbran Village Surgery has enjoyed the process of facilitating the training of ‘Tomorrows Doctors’ since 1995. In addition to our involvement in GP Registrar training we have provided a stimulating educational environment for ‘GP Specialist Registrars’ and Undergraduate Medical Students from years 3 and 5.

Though there are three ‘designated trainers’, all partners are actively and keenly involved in the education process. It will be seen from the short CVs of the partners (see Our Staff) that all are actively involved in the education process from undergraduate level through to ‘continuing professional development’, and each has there own specialist area of strength, thus providing the opportunity for a good ‘all round’ educational experience.

It must be emphasized that the education process extends far beyond that provided by the partners alone and the ethos of continual learning pervades the whole of the primary health care team.

Registrars joining this primary health care team will also notice the benefits of working with a stable and skilled workforce that maximizes the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care in an atmosphere that is relaxed and enjoyable. One of the underpinning philosophies of this practice is that ‘Education is Fun’ and it is a recurrent observation of many of those that have been involved in this practice. Consequently, many who have come to us for their first six months of training have requested to return for their second six months and some have even chosen to stay for good!

GP registrars have on average 4 hours protected teaching time per week. Particular strengths on offer within this practice include:·

  • Audit and Research
  • Communication skills
  • Video assessment
  • How to pass the MRCGP exam
  • Portfolio education / Reflective learning
  • General Practice Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • IT
  • GP Politics

VTS doctors interested in joining practice for a placement should in the first instance forward CV/experience with covering letter to Andrew Langley Practice Manager  gptraining@cwmbranvillagesurgery.co.uk
