ST7

During the final year, the programme is tailored to suit the consultant aspirations of the trainee. In general it is spent in the Teaching Centres of Cambridge (majority) or Norwich. This year includes longer modules ( 6 or 12 months) of advanced training in targeted sub-specialties. All final year trainees also need to complete the advanced training domains of clinical practice, team working, leadership, innovation, mngement and education.

 

Out of Programme Training (OOPT)

Possible OOPT aspirations are discussed at the ARCP meetings or by contacting the senior Training Programme Director. Trainees need to be post FRCA, and ST5, 6 or 7. If OOPT is outside the UK, trainees must be back in this country for six months prior to the award of the CCT. Further information is available here: http://heeoe.hee.nhs.uk/out_of_programme
