Junior Doctors in Training

We have a junior doctor attached to the practice as part of the medical Postgraduate Foundation Programme. They will be undertaking consultations under supervision as part of their ongoing medical training. We hope you will co-operate with us and help these doctors to continue their learning in the General Practice setting. You will be advised if you are being offered a consultation with a doctor in training.

Medical Students

Medical students and nursing students attend the practice from time to time. We hope that you will co-operate with us and help the students to learn about General Practice. However, you will be informed of their presence in advance and if you do not want them to be present at a consultation, your wishes will be respected. This will not affect your treatment in any way.
