Applying for GP specialty training

Choosing a career in general practice can be both rewarding and challenging. We understand that sometimes General Practice can be a daunting environment for a new trainee, not accustomed to the independent working and the pressure of being that first port of call and diagnosis for patients entering the health service.

Medical Protection will support you during your training and help you to cope with many of the medicolegal challenges that you will face. We aim to be more than a last line of defence and want to support and protect you throughout your training.
