We are a training practice and we are committed to helping to train GP Registrars and Nurses.
Our GP Registrars are fully qualified as doctors and have a great deal of hospital experience. They are attached to our practice for six months or a year (depending on the stage of their training) and usually become GPs after completing their training. They always have access to advice from any of our more experienced GPs when they need it.
When booking an appointment, you may be asked if you will consult with one of our Registrars. As part of their training, a Registrar may need to video the consultation. If you are happy to be recorded, then you will be asked to complete a short consent form. If you do not wish to be filmed for the purposes of training, please let the Registrar or reception staff know before your consultation.
We also help to train medical students and student nurses, who will sometimes be on placement within the practice for a few weeks. The students always work alongside one of our permanent members of staff, either observing, or being observed, learning specific skills.
