Core medical programme
There are a total of 13 programmes running at Whittington Health, with 12 trainees on site and 1 trainee at Queen Square (neurology) at any given time.
Each year of the programme consists of four x three month posts. Most trainees remain with us for two years. One programme comprises one year at Whittington Health and one year at the Royal Free for either renal medicine or HIV/infectious diseases.
All the programmes incorporate a three month block of intensive care medicine and eight of the programmes will rotate to neurology in either CT1 or CT2 at some stage.
