General Practice in Wales
Welcome to the Section of General Practice
We are part of the School of Postgraduate Medical & Dental Education of Cardiff University. This site holds information on Specialty Training for General Practice, the Appraisal System and Continuing Professional Development for GPs in Wales. If you are a doctor considering specialist training in Wales then you may wish to follow the links to the many and varied specialist training schemes across Wales.
If you are a GP working in Wales or considering moving then the information around our CPD and Appraisal systems may interest you. We endeavour to provide transparent information about the section if there is further clarification needed please feel free to contact us.
