GPs in Training

Our practice is approved to train fully qualified doctors who wish to specialise in general practice. Our GP registrar will have had 2-4 years of experience as a qualified hospital doctor working in various specialities. They consult patients on their own, under the mentorship of our GP Partners. Occasionally we ask permission to video a consultation. You will always be asked in advance and are given the option not to take part, and this will not affect your care in any way. No recording will be taken without your consent and the camera will be switched off on request. These videos are used only for educational purposes with the doctor doing the consultation and are destroyed after use.

Medical Students

Medical students are sometimes attached to the practice for 2 – 3 weeks as part of their training.  We feel experience of general practice is an important part of training for medical students, who may be future general practitioners!  If you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist.

There may also be times when visitors are with us for work shadow purposes or to check the quality of our service. Again, anyone affected by such visits will be informed.
