GP Registrar
We are approved to train fully qualified doctors who wish to specialise in General Practice.
GP Registrars are experienced doctors with wide hospital experience. They join us for 4 to 12 months. They consult patients on their own, under the mentorship of our GP Trainers. Whilst here they are learning more about family medicine under our supervision.
Video Surgeries
We may ask if patients mind having their consultation with the clinician recorded. This allows a more senior doctor to watch back and teach consultation skills. This is vital to training students and doctors. So, we appreciate patients’ willingness to allow this. You will always be asked in advance and are given the option not to take part, this will not affect your care in any. We will never record any consultation without your permission. The camera will be off on request.
Joint Surgeries
We sometimes ask patients if they mind another GP watching their consult with a GP registrar.. This helps the registrar get feedback and sometimes involves patients in the process.
Medical Students
Medical Students are sometimes attached to the practice for up to 12 weeks as part of their training. If you do not want a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the Patient Service Advisor.
