Education

here to download a list of Training Courses
In addition to hosting medical students, the practice helps to train future
general practitioners by working with “GP registrars”. These doctors
already have considerable hospital experience before joining us for one year
in preparation for finding their own practices.
The practice also trains Foundation Doctors. A Foundation Year Doctor will have
completed one year of general hospital experience after qualifying. They are
employed at the practice for four months, closely supported by the General Practitioners.
Access
And Facilities For The Disabled
There is full access for the disabled, including access to the toilet. A large
print summary of our practice booklet and an audio cassette are available on
request.
Chaperones
We appreciate that some patients may feel more comfortable having a chaperone
present during an examination by a doctor or nurse. If you would like to have
someone else with you during an examination, please tell your doctor or nurse
or, if possible, advise the receptionist before your appointment.

Care Trust (PCT)
