GP TRAININGAs a GP training practice we are required to maintain high standards of care in order to train junior doctors (registrars). The registrars are qualified doctors who, having chosen general practice as their career, receive relevant postgraduate training in hospital specialities and then spend time at our practice in order to hone their skills further. Registrars are supervised by us throughout the 3 year training period and are attached to the practice for 4 to 18 months depending on the stage of their training. The aim of the training programme is to produce doctors who, on completion, will be able to provide personal and continuing GP care to individuals and families in the community. They will also have the management and administrative skills relative to primary care and have been able to audit and reflect on their work with a view to improving performance. Drs Gough, Paterson and Patrick are the training GPs at the surgery. Since providing training throughout the practice we have maintained consistently high scores for the specialist examinations that the registrars take. Many of our registrars have continued to work as assistants across the practice. For training purposes it is sometimes necessary to video patients' consultations. This will only be done with your consent and personal physical examinations will not be recorded. The camera can be switched off on request and any recording deleted. We have a wide range of experience in GP training and trust we share our enthusiasm and inspire a similar high standard of care in the registrars. Should you have any concern please contact one of the training partners or our practice manager. Any general feedback is also gratefully received via our feedback form | | |
