GP trainees Cork, community placement query
I was hoping current or previous trainees might be able to share their experiences regarding:
- During the community/GP placement years, are trainees often expected to travel far outside Cork city (for example to neighbouring counties such as Kerry, Waterford, or Limerick)?
- Or are most placements generally within commuting distance of Cork city?
- How long are the GP/community placements usually for? Are they longer blocks (eg 6–12 months), or are they shorter rotations similar to SHO hospital jobs (eg 3–4 month rotations)?
- How frequently do trainees move practices during the community years?
We have a small baby and we're considering how we should plan our accomodation needs for the training programme ahead.
