East Midlands
The East Midlands region lies in the centre of England, although it actually extends as far east as the Lincolnshire coast. It encompasses the combined counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and most of Lincolnshire.
Steeped in history for centuries, the area was ruled by the Iron Age Corieltauvi tribe prior to the arrival of the Romans and later by the Vikings under the Danelaw.
The East Midlands comprises many areas of stunning natural beauty from its highest point at Kinder Scout to volcanic Charnwood Forest, and the Wolds reaching to the east coast of Lincolnshire. Its central location allows easy access via motorway, rail and air.
The East Midlands rotation has 16 Urology trainees with posts in 3 teaching hospitals (Nottingham Leicester & Derby) and 4 district general hospitals (King's Mill, Lincoln, Northampton, Kettering).
