We are a training practice and you may be offered an appointment with a F2 Doctor. These doctors are fully qualified and will have had experience in several hospital specialties.
We also teach medical students and sometimes you may be asked to see the doctor or nurse with a student present. You will always be asked beforehand if this is acceptable and you may ask for the student to withdraw if you prefer to have your consultation in private.
Sometimes you may be asked if you would be happy to see our medical student prior to seeing the doctor. This is a change for them to get valuable experience and learn what it is like to be a GP. Feedback we get from the students from the students is this is a key part to there learning and placement, they enjoy meeting our patients and asking about their symptoms and being able to learn good examination technique. We are keen to give the student as much experience and support during there placements with us to share what being a GP is like, and what things are important to us and our patients.
Research
We support research to help with the development of medical interventions. You may be asked directly or in writing to take part in some research. You are able to refuse if you do not wish to take part and all your details are kept confidential.
