YOUTUBE VIDEO LESSONS MAINLY FOR IMGs

Pick one and then choose another when you’re done.  Don’t try following them all at once!  It’s too much.

 

This page is not just for IMGs!

I’ve created this page because there are so many trainees born and educated in the UK who get to medical school and pass, yet their written English often requires improvement.   And if you’re going to be writing articles, projects or papers for publication, then you really ought to brush up in this area.   Others may be international medical graduates who want help with their writing.  This page will serve both those born and educated in the UK and those born and educated outside. So what perfect opportunity to do it during your GP training years.   

In the “Downloads” section above, you will find useful resources helping you with…

  • English sentence construction
  • Grammar
  • English spelling
  • Punctuation
The videos are more for International Medical Graduates.

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).
