Yorkshire and the Humber

Yorkshire and the Humber Training School (Sheffield, Leeds & Hull)

Yorkshire and the Humber is divided into two training schools based in Leeds and Sheffield respectively. After ST1, trainees stay around either Sheffield or Leeds as each centre has its own placements in district general hospitals. There is flexibility within the programme for trainees to undertake a placement in either training school in later years of training. There are 15 joint teaching sessions over the course of each year; the content is focussed around the FRCPath examination. These are delivered by video conference and use digital pathology to share slide seminars and lectures.
