What is HEFT?

The HEFT programme offers GP PG DiTs who are interested in a career in Deep End GP and/or inclusion health, an enhanced training

programme with a focus on health equity, hoping to create the Deep End workforce and leadership of the future. PG DiTs select and are

allocated to HEFT rotations during GP recruitment preferencing. They complete three years of GP training, alongside colleagues who are

not undertaking HEFT, meeting all standard curriculum requirements. Where possible, the posts that make up their training programme

are in relevant practices and specialties such as:

· Public health

· Emergency medicine

· Psychiatry

· Substance misuse

· Prisons

· Leadership

· Education

· Academic

· Inclusion health (homelessness, migrant health, sex workers, Gypsies and Travellers)

Trainees are periodically released from normal training to attend an online national education programme and annual conference.

Where possible, they are part of local communities of practice with other PG DiTs undertaking HEFT. Where possible they receive

near-peer support from local deprivation/trailblazer fellows and/or PCN health inequalities leads. It is recognised that many PG DiTs

are already undertaking suitable rotations in areas of deprivation, in which case the value added of the programme is the national

sessions and any local community of practice support.

What is the regional offer in EoE?

EoE Regional Offer

Regional educational sessions take place online MS Teams, average every two months.

HEFT GP's from across the East of England come together to reflect on the national HEFT sessions and consolidate learning.

The sessions are interactive and have a strong regional influence.
