Trainees

Training can be busy, and there is always a lot to keep track of, so we’ve tried to make this part of the website as useful and straightforward as possible.

Whether you’re looking for teaching resources, portfolio guidance, information about your placements or support during training, this page brings together the parts of the West Mid website you’re most likely to need. You’ll also find links to your trainee-only resources, practical guidance and the wider support available to you throughout your time with the Scheme. We hope it gives you a simple starting point whenever you need to find something — and makes life at West Mid just that little bit easier to navigate.

What it’s really like

We could tell you why we think West Mid is a great place to train — but you’d probably expect us to say that. So don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our trainees have to say.

“The residential brings the feeling of community into GP training. It makes me feel connected with my peers and allows us to learn from our collective experience.”
