Training

Trainers

We recognise and support the vital role of training in the NHS, by providing opportunities for experience and development for a number of different and new roles.

GP registrars

These are qualified doctors who are training to specialise in General Practice.

We have GP registrars for either 6 months (first year or second year of training) or 12 months (last year of training). They each have a GP trainer within our Practice who supports and assesses them throughout their placement with us.

GP registrars see patients just as any other GP would.

As part of their training and as a way of evaluating how they’re progressing, GP registrars have to video some of their consultations (not intimate examinations). The video is only viewed by the trainee and their trainer. Your explicit consent will be sought before the appointment is made, however if you change your mind during the consultation, you can ask for it to be turned off and deleted. This will not affect the treatment you receive.Our current registrars:

Foundation Year 2 (FY2) doctors

These are qualified doctors undertaking their second year of speciality rotations in hospital and community settings.

Traditionally, doctors did not have any posts in General Practice in their early training. We now hope more will decide to undertake their speciality training in General Practice.

Our current FY2

• Dr Kaycee Child

Trainee Physician Associates

These are professionals with a biomedical degree that are training to perform some traditionally doctor roles such as taking the history, examining, and formulating a management plan along with the supervision of a GP.

Student nurses

We also have student nurses who join the surgery for periods of up to 8 weeks.

They shadow the nursing team, giving them the opportunity to develop skills and learn about the role of General Practice nursing within the NHS.

Intending medical students

Given the shortage of doctors, we as a practice promote attracting intending medical students into a career in medicine and specifically General Practice.

They are usually with us for a few weeks only and will shadow the doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
