Our practice supports and trains doctors in the final years of their specialist GP training. These doctors are fully qualified doctors who have worked in a variety of hospital specialities, and usually work here for one year. We do this in a variety of ways and might have someone sitting in on surgeries. You may also be asked if the consultation can be recorded. You will always be told when this might happen and you can always choose to see the doctor without these additional training activities. We are regularly inspected to ensure the quality of training is maintained. This may mean your medical records are viewed. If you object to this in any way, please, tell the practice manager.
