As a training practice, hospital doctors wanting to enter General Practice can spend up to twelve months with us in order to gain the experience they need to become family doctors.

A doctor in training is called a GP REGISTRAR, reflecting the fact that they are a qualified doctor and here to learn General Practice. Dr Giles, Dr Trowell and Dr Cule are our GP trainers.

The Deanery will inspect the Practice regularly to ensure we provide the appropriate standard of care, levels of organisation, and an environment that would be conducive for a training practice. The staff and Partners have all worked hard to achieve this. We are strongly committed to providing high standards of training, without losing the friendly touch that has been the hallmark of this Practice. We are committed to training doctors to become GPs.

Consultations may be video recorded as part of training and your medical records may be used for educational purposes. You will be made aware of this and asked to sign a consent form prior to your consultation. You are under no obligation and it will not affect your treatment.
