Round 2 Recruitment

If you were not fortunate enough to gain a place to join us in August in round 1 of recruitment, fear not, all is not lost!  Round 2 of recruitment opened yesterday on the 24th March.  At present all our Grampian and Caledonian 3 year program slots are accepted however these will not quite finalised. We do however have:-

• 3 Grampian 4 year program posts
• 3 Caledonian 4 year program posts
• 9 Rural Program posts, consisting of
• Shetland 1post
• Orkney 2 posts
• Western Isles 2 posts
• Caithness 2 posts
• Fort William 1 post
• Oban 1 post

These posts on the rural track scheme may especially suit those who were unable to gain places in secondary care specialty training.  Why not consider joining your aspirations for a secondary care specialty with a career in rural general practice , using the elective period to develop your specialty interest which you may then be able to use within one of our rural general hospitals.  For an example of this why not read Dylan Murphy's article on GP obstetrics in Shetland?
