Trainees/Students
Our practice is a training/teaching practice.
Our trainee doctors are fully qualified and have a great deal of hospital experience.
Trainee doctors are attached to our practice for six to twelve months and patients
find their fresh, enthusiastic approach adds to the health care we provide. The
trainee doctors usually become General Practitioner partners after completing
their training, and are at all times encouraged to seek advice when required from
the practice partners.
When booking an appointment you may be asked if
you would like to consult with one of our trainee doctors. Our trainees are excellent
doctors, appointed by the practice. We are confident that they will give our patients
modern, effective and caring treatment.
We are fortunate to also have
medical students attached for short periods to our practice. With the patient’s
consent, they may be present at consultations with the partners and learn about
general practice.
Student nurses are also attached to the nursing staff
at times.
