The best part of rural general practice is the continuity of care and being an integral part of people’s lives. I get to see whole families, through all stages of their journey, including through antenatal care and palliative care. I love the feeling of being able to make a difference to someone’s life, even if that is just being there to listen.

I have greatly enjoyed my time training in Tamworth. The lifestyle and the work are both rewarding, and the community has been very supportive of me during my time here. I would highly recommend the New England region as a place for future junior doctors to live and train.
