The Core Psychiatry rotations within Yorkshire and the Humber are: North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire.
In regards to the West Yorkshire rotation successful applicants will be appointed as a core trainee to the West Yorkshire Core Psychiatry rotation. Training is provided by 4 Mental Health Trusts: South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SWYFT), Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust (BDCFT), Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT) and Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust (LCHT). Dependent on the trainee’s own preferences and individual circumstances, coupled with their ranking in national recruitment, they will spend their first calendar year of their rotation in one of either SWYFT, BDCFT or LYPFT. The trainee will liaise closely with their educational supervisor/college tutor during their core training years to discuss their individual circumstances and training needs. The location of their remaining time in core training will be decided at the West Yorkshire core trainee allocations meeting held every 6 months. The meetings are attended by senior medical educators of all the employing Trusts and decisions incorporate the trainee’s view and the training needs of that individual.
