Training

GPs in Training

Our practice is approved to train fully qualified doctors who wish to specialise in general practice. Our GP registrar will have had 2-4 years of experience as a qualified hospital doctor working in various specialities. They consult patients on their own, under the mentorship of our trainers, Dr Angela Paddon and Dr Anne Woods. Occasionally we ask permission to video a consultation. You will always be asked in advance and are given the option not to take part, and this will not affect your care in any way. No recording will be taken without your consent and the camera will be switched off on request. These videos are used only for educational purposes with the doctor doing the consultation and are destroyed after use.

Medical Students

Medical students are sometimes attached to the practice as part of their training. They vary between Year 4 and Year 5 Medical Students and are always under the supervision of Dr Angela Paddon or Dr Anne Woods. If you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist.
