Profile

Medical education and training in the East Midlands is very much a
partnership. East Midlands Healthcare Workforce Deanery (EMHWD)
oversees the quality, distribution and management of postgraduate
medical education for General Practice, Secondary Care and Public
Health. We work closely with those who deliver and those who undertake
the training and education.

The deanery patch is geographically large and serves a population of
4.3 million. It has a healthcare workforce in excess of 80,000, with a
breadth of learning and working environments, including some of the
largest teaching hospitals nationally and some of the smallest rural primary
care trusts.

The patch can be divided into North and South areas as follows: North
(Nottingham Office) - Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire;
South (Leicester office)-Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland.
The diversity of the population and sites for the delivery of healthcare
mean that the East Midlands has an extensive range of opportunities
for learning and extending medical education over the years to come.
We have established 16 Postgraduate Specialty Schools run locally by
consultants, and a large and well connected GP directorate with an
extensive range of programme directors.

We keep our rotations as small and as manageable as possible whilst
ensuring they deliver the range of opportunities needed to meet the
specialty curricula. We endeavor to make sure that when applicants
apply to one of our programmes, they are clear about the range of sites
they might be asked to work in and an indication of the periods of training
at each.
