The Oxford Deanery SEM training scheme is highly regarded. It is 4 years in length, ST3 to ST6. There are 5 posts in NHSETV in SEM. The scheme has evolved over the last 8 years due to feedback from previous and current trainees. The scheme prides itself in being flexible and the rotation is built up on an individual basis taking into account the trainee’s interests, training requirements and prior experience. These requirements will be balanced by the availability of local posts and the needs of others in the Training Programme. The scheme has consistently placed in the top 2 for trainee satisfaction in the GMC survey since its inception.
