Since 2020, other areas of the country have been setting up similar schemes with support from this role. We are currently running one session a month, bringing together Trailblazer Post-CCT GP fellows from across the country for an educational session held remotely online.

Whilst responsibility for organising and hosting the national programme primarily lies with the national director, as the Y&H programme director, you will work closely with the national director and may be required to assist with hosting some of the national sessions.

Through leading the fellowship, you will develop a network of inspirational facilitators who do incredible work in deprivation medicine across the country. As well as running the Yorkshire and Humber and national schemes, there is an opportunity to shape and develop the schemes going forward as the national programme expands.
