There is a thriving network, across the 50 STW Practices, providing support and educational opportunities for GPs in their first five years, post-CCT: the STW First 5 GP Network 

The First 5 network has been developed to create a community for, and to provide support to, early year GPs in the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin localities, regardless of where you have trained, what role you currently have, or what your plans are for the future.

​The Network wants to support you in your continuing professional development, feel at home in the local area, and know where to turn for guidance.

​The Network achieves this through educational and networking events, online and in person social groups, linking you up with local employers, and being a point of contact for any concerns you may have.

The Network is currently run by Dr Helen Lloyd, who can be contacted by emailing: stw.first5@nhs.net
