Northern Ireland Medical & Dental Training Agency & GPARTS Scheme
The General Practice Academic Research Training Scheme (GPARTS) has been operating since 1999 and for most years during that time has provided an enhanced training opportunity for at least two GP trainees per year.
GPARTS is designed to provide GP Trainees with an opportunity to develop and nurture research skills in research relevant to General Practice & Primary Care alongside GP training. GPARTS is a fully funded 2 year supervised scheme in conjunction with GP Academics at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) and the School of Medicine at Ulster University (UU). It provides a structured approach to research training and the GPART scheme prides itself on the development of a strong community of young researchers who support one another under the guidance of the GP Academics.
The scheme is relevant to those interested in developing a clinical research career focussed on General Practice / Primary Care but is equally relevant to a host of future jobs in General Practice / Primary Care that will require a structured, systematic and critical approach.
Mission: Nurturing capability, fostering critical thinking and inspiring leadership in research among future General Practitioners.
Vision: To be a thriving centre for research expertise supporting a network of primary care communities conducting high-quality healthcare and educational research of relevance to general practice and of benefit of all.
Values: Community-focussed Patient-centred Clinically relevant Scholarly Mutually-supportive Collaborative Open Inclusive

Information for applicants from the EU
You will be aware that the UK is in the process of leaving the European Union. This means freedom of movement will be affected after 31 December 2020. However, the HSC will continue to welcome and value staff and trainees from Europe as it does the whole world.
The UK will have left the European Union on January 31 2021 and we are currently in the transition period until 31 December 2020 during which all EU law will still apply to the UK. EU citizens and their family members will be able to move to the UK until 2021, with the same rights to work and study freely. For EU citizens who live in the UK by 31 December 2020, you are eligible to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme. All EU citizens who have lived in the UK for more than five years continuously will be eligible for ‘settled status’ (equivalent to indefinite leave to remain). If you have lived in the UK for less than five years you will be eligible for ‘pre-settled status’ and can upgrade this to ‘settled status’ when you have been here for five years. More information on the settlement scheme can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families
The UK is introducing a new points based immigration system from 1 January 2021. If you intend to visit work or study in the UK from 1 January 2021 you can find out more information on what you need to do here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-immigration-system-what-you-need-to-know.
