AGPT registrars can commence applying to practices for the 2025.2 placement round through the Training Management System (TMS) from Monday, 28 April. Due to this, we are anticipating higher-than-usual traffic to our TMS. Although this may result in slower load times, we will actively be monitoring TMS performance and making necessary changes to remediate any issues. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Informing quality end-of-life care

"For the first time, this research highlights the vital role of general practice in end-of-life care, showcasing its profound impact in delivering accessible, responsive, appropriate high-quality care”
Dr Matthew Grant

Transforming chronic pain management

“Our new mobile phone app for patients with persistent pain helps identify their most effective non-drug self-management options. Integrating this digital tool into their general practice care offers a new, personalised approach to pain management”
Associate Professor Nancy Sturman

Enhancing mastitis care for breastfeeding mothers

“By understanding how GPs treat mastitis, we can improve guidelines, support breastfeeding mothers, and ensure better care”
Professor Lisa Amir

Bridging the gap in chronic disease care

"When patients set goals that fit their life, they’re more likely to stay engaged and achieve better health. Making goal setting a team effort between GPs and patients can lead to real, lasting improvements."
Dr Hannah Woodall.
