Junior doctors have ranked our Trust as the top organisation for their training in the North East, the GMC national training survey has revealed.
We were ranked as the number 1 Trust in the North East and number 2 in Yorkshire and Humber. Our Trust was also ranked 17th in the UK overall.
The GMC national training survey (NTS) is the largest annual survey of doctors in the UK, where trainees share their views on their training and the environments where they work.
Trainers also report their experience as clinical and/or educational supervisors, which saw us ranked 20th out of 228 trusts across the country.
Our trust provides four-month rotations to foundation doctors from local acute trusts as well as six-monthly psychiatry placements for GP trainees. Every year, around 300 doctors rotate through the trust on placement in psychiatry.
Dr Hany El Sayeh, director of medical education at TEWV said: “We have a strong facility of medical education in our trust that supports hundreds of medical students and junior doctors on their career journey, providing them with a solid foundation in mental health care.
“The GMC national training survey results put us at the forefront of medical education in the region and once again we are proud of our performance, on both a regional and national level.
“As a Trust we aim to recruit, develop and retain a skilled, compassionate and motivated workforce that can provide an excellent service to the people we care for.
“We hope that by achieving such impressive results greater numbers of junior doctors and health care professionals will choose to join our Trust on a permanent basis when they have completed their training.”
