The surgery has regular placements of junior doctors who are undergoing part of their training at the surgery. These are fully qualified doctors who whilst working with us form an integral part of the practice. These doctors perform many of the same duties as the regular doctors who work at the surgery. At times their consultations are videotaped for training purposes following your prior consent. Your co-operation in seeing them is appreciated.
Registrars/Specialist Trainees
These are doctors who will work at the practice for between 6 and 12 months. They are intending to follow a career in General Practice. Dr French & Dr Blackbourn are their Trainers. Currently we take up to 2 of these doctors.
Foundation Year 2 Doctors
These are doctors who are in their second year post graduation. The FY2 year is a compulsory training period all doctors must follow after graduation. Many of these doctors spend 4 months in General Practice during this year. These doctors however may not necessarily be intending to follow a career in General Practice. Dr Fouracre is their lead trainer at the practice.
