The practice may have Doctors attached to it, usually for six months, for post graduation training. These Doctors are fully qualified and are gaining experience before becoming full time General Practitioners.
MEDICAL STUDENTS
At times you may be introduced to medical students who are training at Newcastle University. These students are gaining experience under the direction of a Partner in the practice. If you have any objection to their being involved in your care you only have to tell the Doctor or the receptionist.
