Rotations designed to help you gain wide experience without moving home

In many areas of the country, your rotation will mean that you have to commute long distances to hospitals or, in some cases, move home to be closer to your work. The unique geography of the East Midlands and its superb transport links mean you gain wide experience in a range of urban and rural locations without moving home or spending hours in the car or on the train.

The major cities of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester are within 30 miles of each other and other locations such as Lincoln, Northampton and Chesterfield are easily reached by road or rail. The M1 motorway runs through the region linking the East Midlands to London and Leeds while Cambridge, Oxford and Sheffield are also easy to reach by car.

A superb rail service links all the region's cities making it easy to commute within your rotation. In addition, trains to London run regularly and take less than 90 minutes, making it easy to visit friends and family.
