Our GP Speciality Training Scheme

Welcome to the Gwent and South Powys Vocational Training Scheme Website. This has been developed to provide all those interested in GP training in Gwent and South Powys with information and resources about the scheme and GP training in general. 


The course, one of the first schemes in Wales, has been in existence since 1979. We have pioneered small group learning and communication skills training in this area and many of the graduates of our Scheme have gone into practice in the locality.

The Half-Day Release Scheme

This course is designed to complement your practice experience with the opportunity for peer group discussion of cases and hot issues.

Our Team

       Gareth Jordan

           Programme Director

Hi, I started as a training programme director on the scheme in 2021 and look after the ST1s. I was a trainee on this scheme back in the day (I am reluctant to say exactly how far back this was Julie knows). My current practice is Wellspring in Risca, I returned after many years to my original training practice on the scheme (they are a nice bunch). I have a portfolio career, during which time I have been a dermatology clinical assistant, a clinical director for primary care and of course worked as a locum, GMS partner, salaried Health board GP and now as a salaried partner.

I live in Cardiff and have 2 teenage offspring and a dog. My wife is also a GP.

         Julie Keely

          Programme Director

Hi, I’m Julie, a rural GP partner in Brecon, Powys. I’m responsible for the ST3s on the scheme. I have probably been a GP since before most of you were born!

 I still believe we are lucky and privileged to do our job and get to know so many lovely people, both patients and colleagues. General Practice is fascinating, challenging, and fun. 

Welcome to the Gwent and South Powys GP Scheme, and enjoy your time with us. We are here to help. Just ask if you are unsure of anything. There is no such thing as a daft question.

I live in a small village outside Brecon with my husband, Sean. I enjoy singing in a local choir. Our daughter is currently a student at the University of Belfast, studying medicine as her second degree.

I am the Associate Dean for our scheme and also one of our PASS educators .

I love the diversity and the challenge of General Practice and the relationships that you build up  over years of looking after people.
