What people are saying

Q
"I love the way Ram demonstrates things - playing both the patient and the doctor. Quite exceptional"
SKLondon
"You can see how Ram is passionate about the RCA and GP training in general. It really helps to keep you engaged"
S TManchester
“Wow! These webinars have been a real eye opener. I didn't know half this stuff. I now feel much better equipped and a more hopeful".
C WLeeds
“Ram's analogies are great. Very inspiring. And so much helpful and useful bits of information”
E AYork
"Where do I start. I strongly recommend watching all 4. There are some repetitive things in 3 & 4 that are mentioned in 1 & 2 but there's a lot of new information too. Besides, it is good to have bits re-emphasised"
J DBradford
"This is a deep-dive into the RCA. There's things in all 4 webinars that no-one has ever told me before. Not my trainer, not my TPDs. Serious worth watching"
J LNottingham
"Oh my word. I've watched the first two - and I am blown away by the amount of practical advice and demonstrations. The website RCA page on Bradford VTS is amazing too. Check it out. Love the way Ram acts out the scenarios. Makes everything more real and do-able. Thanks"
Y WKSS
"6 hours is a long time. But watch each one bit by bit. Say half an hour each day. I found it easier that way. But it is worth going through them all.... incredible points."
M SNorwich
I really struggle with on the spot examples and Ram does an astonishing job of demonstrating the skills. Lots of little nuggets of useful information. I am actually looking forward to start recording now!
S PNewcastle

How IT ALL STARTED
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
WHO ARE WE FOR?

Bradford VTS was created by Dr. Ramesh Mehay, a Programme Director for Bradford GP Training Scheme back in 2001. Over the years, it has seen many permutations.  At the time, there were very few resources for GP trainees and their trainers so Bradford decided to create one FOR EVERYONE. 

So, we see Bradford VTS as  the INDEPENDENT vocational training scheme website providing a wealth of free medical resources for GP trainees, their trainers and TPDs everywhere and anywhere.  We also welcome other health professionals – as we know the site is used by both those qualified and in training – such as Associate Physicians, ANPs, Medical & Nursing Students. 

Our fundamental belief is to openly and freely share knowledge to help learn and develop with each other.  Feel free to use the information – as long as it is not for a commercial purpose.   

We have a wealth of downloadable resources and we also welcome copyright-free educational material from all our users to help build our rich resource (send to bradfordvts@gmail.com).

Our sections on (medical) COMMUNICATION SKILLS and (medical) TEACHING & LEARNING are perhaps the best and most comprehensive on the world wide web (see white-on-black menu header section on the homepage).
