Regions

Yorkshire & Humber

The Health Education England Yorkshire and the Humber region covers a large geographical area, encompassing eastern coastal resorts, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Peak District; hence the region is often sub-divided into three smaller geographical areas:

East - based around the busy, interesting cities of Hull and York and the teaching hospitals therein, and the district hospitals of Scarborough, Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Harrogate.

West - based either in Leeds or Bradford Teaching Hospitals, with rotations in Halifax, Huddersfield, Airedale and Harrogate.

South - South Yorkshire programmes are based in the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust and the surrounding district general hospitals (Barnsley, Chesterfield, Bassetlaw, Mexborough/Montague Hospitals, and Rotherham).

Flexible portfolio training

The Yorkshire & Humber region will be piloting flexible portfolio training posts for new ST3s in 2020. This scheme will protect one day a week, or the time equivalent across the year for professional development in research and medical education. This fantastic opportunity will be available to applicants in Gastroenterology, Geriatric, Endocrine and Diabetes and Acute Internal Medicine.

These national training numbers, which do not require any extra eligibility or interview criteria, offer the opportunity for trainees to engage in project work, for a minimum of one year that can aid their professional development and meet the necessary general professional capabilities required of the modern physician.
