NEW
The West Yorkshire (WY) Primary Care & Workforce Training Hub (PCWTH) is pleased to announce the launch of a new and updated West Yorkshire Fellowship Programme for GPs & GPNs. To start the programme a short information meeting will be held in March 2025, with the formal education sessions running from April 2025.
The fellowship programme is for General Practitioners (GPs) newly qualified within the last 12-months and General Practice Nurses (GPNs) newly qualified or new to general practice within the last 24-months. The programme spans 18-months and connects Fellows with colleagues across West Yorkshire. During the programme Fellows will have dedicated time to participate in education sessions and to work on a PCN Portfolio Project. All education sessions are scheduled monthly for the duration of the 18-month programme and will be held virtually.
The programme includes mentoring for each participant, provided by trained mentors through GPM Plus. GPM Plus mentors are GPs or GPNs currently working in General Practice, bringing a wealth of experience in local health services.
Each month, there will be a half-day education session that Fellows must attend. Most education sessions will be jointly attended by GPs and GPNs, although there may be occasional sessions that separate the two groups.
Quarterly peer support sessions are hosted virtually in your area, led by a friendly facilitator who understands our unique locality challenges. These virtual sessions offer a relaxed space for local GPs and GPNs to share experiences, seek advice, and support each other. The fellowship is a great opportunity to network, swap ideas, and strengthen relationships, all whilst working together to improve the care we provide to our patients.
