Teaching and Training

Medical Students and Student Nurses
Periodically we provide important training for student doctors and nurses. You will be informed if a student is to be present during your consultation. Please tell the receptionist if you do not wish for a student to be present.

GP Trainees
The practice is an appointed General Practitioner Training Practice and often benefits from the services of a fully qualified doctor who is training to be a GP. One or two new doctors join us each year. They all have a minimum of three years post qualification experience in hospital medicine.

They may sometimes be under supervision by another doctor during consultations or maybe using a video camera for training purposes. Your consent will always be sought on these occasions.

Foundation Year 2 Doctors
These are qualified doctors who are undertaking further training in specialised fields, as well as training to be a GP. They rotate between the hospital and general practice and will spend a period of 4 months with us.
