GP Registrar
There may be a GP registrar in post with us. They are fully qualified doctors who have worked in hospitals for several years but who have chosen general Practice as a career and who will be gaining valuable experience by being based in our Practice. At all times, they provide the same standard of care as the other doctors in the centre. If we would like to use your consultation for teaching purposes, you will be asked beforehand and you may, of course, decline.
Medical Students
Occasionally there will be a medical student in attendance whilst you are having a consultation with your doctor. However, if you prefer, you can ask your doctor to have the consultation without the student present.
