General Practice Registrars (Trainees)
We are a recognised Post Graduate Training Practice and as such, have a GP Registrar attached to the practice for a year at a time. All GP Registrars are fully qualified Doctors who have worked for at least three years in hospital medicine before coming to us. Many bring new and special skills to the practice. We would hope that some of our patients would agree to becoming the Registrar’s patients for the year they are with us. After that time, Registrars leave to become GPs in their own chosen practice.
