The Primary Care Training Centre is a well-established education provider delivering quality education to all members of the primary healthcare team.
Whatever your discipline is in primary care, come on one of our courses if you want to develop your knowledge and skills to ensure that you are delivering quality care and helping patients to achieve their best outcomes.
Students consistently give positive evaluations and feedback that the days are enjoyable, relevant to practice and delivered by knowledgeable tutors. Students who come to Crow Trees, our grade 2 listed Training Centre in Bradford, comment on the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and good lunches.
All of our courses and study/update days can be delivered locally in your area. The course content and teaching is identical wherever the teaching days are held. The minimum number of students varies, but is usually round 20.
The fee per student for a satellite course is the same as our advertised fee for attending at Crow Trees, and includes all course materials, mentor support, university registration (where appropriate) and teaching days, but not the venue or refreshments. Our own tutors deliver all the teaching.
We have delivered training all over Great Britain, Ireland and beyond. Distance is not a problem!
Whatever your preference, take a look and see what is on offer for you!
Simply the most enthusiastic, supportive and inspiring educational team I have ever worked with!
Always dread the drive there. But once there it's like home from home. Really enthusiastic trainers who deliver only appropriate information in a lovely environment.
