Medical Education and Training

We are committed to providing high quality medical education for all doctors in training. As one of the largest hospital trusts in the UK, we offer training in a wide variety of specialties. Most specialty programmes include one or more rotational posts through Newcastle, and we accommodate approximately 25% of trainees within the Deanery.

There is a wealth of learning opportunities available here, at departmental level, at Trust-wide level, and for specialty training at regional level in collaboration with other trusts across the Northern Deanery.

Practitioners come to us from all over the UK and from as far afield as Egypt and China, to learn the latest techniques and to see best practice in action.

We don’t just train the nurses, doctors and surgeons of tomorrow. We take great pride in the fact they choose to stay with us.
