Postgraduate Medical Education Centre (PGMC)
We have two postgraduate medical education centres – one at Epsom Hospital, the other at St Helier Hospital – which are dedicated to giving the best possible experience to doctors in training and their faculty.
We deliver a range of teaching programmes including weekly Foundation year, GP and Specialty teaching as well as regional teaching to ensure that our doctors are well equipped with the skills they need to deliver excellent and safe care for all patients with compassion. We monitor the progression of all doctors in training at our hospitals and offer the guidance and support they need through our specialty-based local faculty groups.
We have a rich programme of grand rounds which provide case-based presentations from various specialties. These lectures are attended by all grades of junior doctors, consultants and specialty and associated specialist doctors and encourage discussion between hospital staff of all grades.
In addition our series of general Thursday lunch time hospital lectures provide an opportunity for participation by other healthcare professions in a multi-professional educational forum.
