University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust - Furness General Hospital - Royal Lancaster Infirmary - Westmorland General Hospital

Speciality Training

The Trust delivers Specialty Training on behalf of the North Western Deanery (www.nwpgmd.nhs.uk). The Postgraduate teams hold information on the various teaching programmes available to STs. We also deliver regional CT teaching sessions and ensure the SPRs are able to attend their teaching days and freed up from service commitment.

All trainees are allocated a clinical and educational supervisor whose roles are to help their trainees to develop against good standards expected for their level of training, which are dependent on local and GMC requirements.
