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 trainers. 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 – 6 weeks as part of their training. You will be informed if one is sitting in with the clinician you are seeing and if you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist.

Student Nurses
Student nurses and trainee nurse associates are sometime attached to the practice for 2-12 weeks as part of their training. You will be informed if one is sitting in with the clinician you are seeing and if you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist. They will see some patients on their own under the supervision of the practice nurses.

Work experience
We offer work experience placements in clinical and non-clinical areas of the practice.  These are usually placements of 1-4 days to give the opportunity to see what working in general practice is like.
