Tower Hamlets Vocational Training Scheme
The Tower Hamlets Vocational Training Scheme aims to provide you with a learner-centred programme of education and experiential training in inner-city multicultural general practice.
Our Aims
Matthew Cheetham
"It’s a great VTS – fun, friendly and interesting and East London has it all. Patients with every condition you’ve ever heard of, and heaps more you haven’t, ethnic and social diversity like nowhere else, and a dynamism you’ll find stimulating. And that’s to say nothing of the history and buzz of the place. Come and take a closer look – it’s all here."
We aim to produce doctors who feel confident to work in this stimulating but challenging environment: they will have learned to maintain themselves as caring and competent doctors, being aware of their needs for learning and for support, and being able to work with others to meet their needs.
Along the way we hope that training will have been a positive and enjoyable supported experience. We hope training on the scheme will encourage doctors to settle as inner city GPs in London and particularly in Tower Hamlets, although we believe it will provide a strong foundation for generalists wishing to practice anywhere in the world.
