Registrars
The General Practitioner Training Scheme - Registrars

This is a scheme for qualified doctors whose experience thus far has been mainly in hospitals. As a training practice we have two doctors working with us for a year to gain experience of general practice. Videotaping some consultations is part of their training and is of great benefit to the doctor concerned. The receptionist will inform you if videotaping is occurring and you will be asked for your consent. We are very grateful to you for your co-operation in this valuable work.

Student Teaching

The doctors and nurses undertake the training of student doctors and nurses. From time to time students, attached to the Practice, will be taking part in consultations with the doctors or practice nurses or directly with patients. If you would prefer that a student were not present, please let a member of the reception staff or the doctor/nurse know.
