GP Trainees

We aim to give all our GP trainees a broad and stimulating experience of psychiatry.  A 2018 study showed that two in five (40 per cent) of GP appointments involved mental health issues. 

Understanding the complexities of managing patients with severe and continuing mental health problems is crucial. It is important to understand how to manage common mental health difficulties.

We understand the significant challenges of modern general practice. We hope you will be able to learn about both conscious and unconscious ways in which our patients can impact us. We feel we are well placed to support you with this. 

This experience will be beneficial throughout your career. It will help to manage the many challenges ahead and to avoid burnout.

At the last GMC survey, LPFT had the best feedback for GP trainees in the East Midlands.
