Teaching and Training

We have had a strong interest for many years in medical education and greatly value the good will that our patients have shown in being prepared to see students and doctors in training.

GENERAL PRACTICE REGISTRARS

We are a training practice, which means we usually have a doctor with us who is training to be a general practitioner. All our GP registrars are fully qualified and competent doctors who have gained plenty of experience in hospital medicine.

As a valuable part of their training the registrar may use a video recorder during their consultations. Patients will be notified of this before their appointment, and participation is voluntary.

The registrar may also have joint surgeries with either Dr Lee or Dr Dunn.

MEDICAL STUDENTS

We participate in the training of medical student from the Penisula Medical School. These may be at different stages of their training. Year 2 student sit in joint surgeries with Dr. Cronshaw and Dr. Dunn. A few patients may be asked to have a longer interview with a student. Year 5 (final year) students are expected to see patients on their own and one of the doctors will come in at the end of the consulatation to check that all is well.
