GPs in Training

GP Registrars

Our practice is approved to train fully qualified doctors who wish to specialise in general practice. Our GP registrar will have had 2-4 years of experience as a qualified hospital doctor working in various specialities. They consult patients on their own, under the mentorship of our trainer, Dr Ahmad and Dr Kohli. Occasionally we ask permission to video a consultation. You will always be asked in advance and are given the option not to take part, and this will not affect your care in any way. No recording will be taken without your consent and the camera will be switched off on request. These videos are used only for educational purposes with the doctor doing the consultation and are destroyed after use.

FY2's

FY2 doctors have at least 12 months, and often longer experience as a qualified doctor, and spend 4 months at the surgery learning about General Practice. They are fully qualified to treat patients and issue prescriptions but generally spend their first few weeks engaged in joint surgeries with their trainers Dr Ahmad and Dr Mohammad who are the accredited educational supervisors in the practice and have overall responsibility for training.

Medical Students

Medical students are sometimes attached to the practice  as part of their training. If you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that we are required from time to time to train other health care students and professionals such as nurses, pharmacists, and non clinical students and this will occasionally involve the individuals sitting in with any of the doctors during consultations. If you are not happy with this please let the doctor know and the trainee will be asked to leave the room for the duration of your consultation.
