TARGET explained. What our GP training scheme means for your care.

TARGET stands for Time for Audit Research Governance Education and Training and all of these things are important in ensuring that surgery staff can do their jobs as effectively as possible. ​

  • Learn about new treatments and approaches to care​
  • Work more closely with the hospitals and other care providers to make your care work more effectively​
  • Share their thoughts and ideas with each other to improve services.​
