GPST Training in Orkney

Dr Ume Onengiye-Ofori has been living and working in Orkney since 2020. She had moved from Canada and quickly settled into Orkney life, her children at local schools and her husband works for Orkney Islands Council.   

Her trainer, Dr Holly Tyson, has helped guide her through the GP training program and she plans to qualify in 2024.   

Orkney has lots of training opportunities, indeed 3 out of the 5 GMS surgeries undertake training and all practices host students.  Following CCT, most GPs stay on the island, developing specialist interests and achieving a broad level of skills necessary to practice in a remote environment.
