Scottish Careers Fair

It was great to meet up with so many of you at the Scottish Careers fair last Saturday. Thanks must go to our trainee ambassadors Anne Rennie and Ian Robinson from the Caledonian Programme, and Catherine Brown and Jacqueline Gray from the Rural Track Programme in Shetland who willingly gave up valuable weekend time to promote GP as a career.

Throughout the day our team enjoyed having the chance to speak to lots of you who are interested in a career in General Practice, with many of you also keen on exploring the option of rural training. Our trainees, along with our Director Dr Ronald MacVicar, ran a seminar entitled "So you want to be a GP?" which attracted a large audience and this was followed by Catherine Brown and our Rural Track Training Program Director, Dr Liz Barr, who also led a seminar on Rural GP training, again with significant interest.

It was great to see so many of you genuinely interested in a career in General Practice, we hope the opportunity to talk directly to some of our trainees was helpful and look forward to welcoming you to the North Region GP Training programs in the years to come.

In the meantime, why not keep in touch with us either by registering for email alerts to updates on this blog (top of the right hand column of the page) or by following our facebook page.
