Training Practice

We are an accredited teaching and training practice.

We help train doctors who are learning to become GPs (General Practitioners). These doctors, called GP registrars, have already worked in hospitals for 2 to 4 years. They see patients by themselves, but are closely supervised by our senior GP educators.

We are also joined by nurses, medical and healthcare students and others who are gaining experience or furthering their training. Seeing patients and our team at work is important for them. However, if you prefer to see your doctor or practice nurse alone, please let us know and we will respect your wish. To become accredited, our GP educators and our practice had to meet rigorous quality standards set by the General Medical Council and Health Education England.

Being a training practice is great for our patients. It means we have more highly skilled doctors and clinicians working at the practice, providing more appointments. By supporting training, you are helping to train the next generation of GPs. Thank you for welcoming them and supporting this exciting development! 

Please let your doctor or the practice manager know if you have any questions about our community medical teaching.
