Early Career GP

The first 5 years of practice after obtaining the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) is an exciting time as you put learning into practice but it can also be full of challenges as you adjust. There are a variety of exciting opportunities and support programmes for early career GPs, with more new schemes to come.

Early Career GP Groups

Dr Adam Mulla is the Leicester Leicestershire Rutland Training Hub Early Career GP Lead and has developed peer support networks for early career GPs working in and around our area. The format includes face-to-face or virtual CPD meetings, an annual conference, WhatsApp groups and one-to-one advice or signposting. If you would like to join your local Early Career group, or find out what is happening in your area then please see the contact details below:

Fellowship in General Practice

The LLR training hub team has successfully delivered the NHS England GP fellowship scheme which has supported 95 newly qualified GPs across 3 cohorts, as they have settled in to general practice post CCT.  The nationally prescribed scheme ceased for new applicants at the end of March 2024, although GPs who were active on the programme at that point will have the opportunity to continue to ensure that they complete the full two year offer.

Although the national offer is no longer available, the hub team continues to be committed to support newly qualified GPs offering clinical and non-clinical CPD sessions.
