Training And Teaching
We are approved as a training practice for general practitioners and are committed to training. Fully qualified doctors who have had many years of hospital experience are required to spend a year working closely with one of the partners before taking up a position as a GP. From time to time we also have student doctors, nurses, midwives and health visitors with us.
Occasionally a video recording is made of the consultation, for training purposes only. The video is only seen by the trainee and the GP trainer, but if you do not wish to take part please feel free to say so.
