GP2 Recruitment

We are looking for GP Practices to host our 2nd year medical students!

• Flexible GP2 teaching opportunity: Host 2nd‑year medical students for either 6 or 12 teaching days across the academic year, in small groups of 6–8.
• Fully supported programme: All teaching materials, structure, training, handbooks, and faculty guidance are provided—no need to redesign content.
• Professional and practice benefits: Tutors gain teaching satisfaction, CPD/appraisal evidence, and enhanced practice profile, morale, recruitment, and engagement.
• Meaningful educational impact: Topics align with GMC Outcomes for Graduates and reflect real GP practice (e.g., long‑term conditions, multimorbidity, prevention, social determinants).
• Excellent student feedback: Recent cohort rated the placement 4.49/5, praising variety, hands‑on experience, supportive GPs, and opportunities to shape their learning.

For those new to teaching - do not let this deter you, available training can be found here.

Typical structure of the day: If you would like to know more about a typical day of hosting our 2nd year medical students, please see timetable. 

Of course, we allow for flexibility for GP tutors, i.e. you may have a clinic / another service that is used as group work.
