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.
GP Training
We will have medical students and Physician Associate trainees joining us from September 2018 until 2019 for short periods. With the patients consent students may sit in on a consultations with the GP or nurse to learn about general practice.
Students are occasionally asked, with the patients consent, to carry out a consultation alone which is then discussed with the GP, student and practice.
You may be asked to consult with a 5th year medical student or Physician Associate before your GP. If you agree to see a medical student first, you will be assisting with their training and your cooperation will be appreciated. However the choice is yours and you do not need to have a consultation with a medical student if you prefer not to.
