Severn Postgraduate Medical Education School of O&G (PGME) recruits to 11 ST1 training posts annually. St1 and St2 jobs are distributed as follows:
- St Michaels Hospital Bristol - 7 posts
- Southmead Hospital Bristol - 8 posts
- Great Western Hospital Swindon - 4 posts
- Royal United Hospital Bath - 1 post ST1
- Musgrove Park Taunton- 1 post ST1
The majority of ST1 trainees commence at one of the Bristol Hospitals and spend at least 6 months in Swindon, Bath or Taunton during the two years of basic training depending on individual training needs. This ensures the trainees have appropriate exposure to the entirety of the curriculum.

In order to assist progress in training, ST1 and ST2 specific training will be run throughout the year. Details are available on the swotweebly.com website
There are also numerous regional training days that are designed to cover the trainees’ educational needs and the current calendar is available on the SWOT website.
For further information about ST1 and ST2 training in the Severn Deanery please contact the Training Programme Director Dr Louise Ashelby.
