Medical Students/GP Registrars

We are actively involved in teaching and are a training practice. As patients you can make a vital contribution to training the next generation of doctors. We hope you will feel able to help by allowing them to sit in on your consultation and occasionally by seeing the student alone before seeing the doctor. You will be informed when a student is with us. We do understand that not everybody is comfortable with this, or your problem may be personal and you may wish to see the doctor alone. Please tell the receptionist and the student will be happy to leave.
