Students and being a GP Training Practice |

As a practice we have an
educational ethos. As such we often
have learners working within our
practice in all clinical and non
clinical areas. They are always
supervised throughout their training
period and welcome any feedback that
you give them. Because they are
learning they may ask question of
you which you might expect them to
already know or be “on my records”.
Please be patient with them as
generally they are checking to
ensure that they do not make a
mistake and cause you any
inconvenience or harm.
All clinical learners you do have a
right not to see. However, we would
ask you to see the learner where
possible as unless they learn now in
a controlled environment they may
make mistakes by learning after
qualification without the support
they currently will be receiving.
Medical Students
We currently have student from
Manchester University attending the
practice on various dates. They are
normally with us up to 14 weeks at a
time so you may see the same person
on a number of occasions depending
on your personal health
circumstances. Because they are not
yet qualified they cannot prescribe
investigate or diagnose so generally
you will tend to see a doctor on the
same occasion as a student. The only
exception to this is when we
occasionally ask a patient with a
specific condition if they would
mind seeing student so they can
discuss that condition in slightly
more detail. Again because we
realise this may be inconvenient the
student will see you either at home
or in the surgery according to what
is best for yourself. We thank you
for your co-operation should we ask
you to be involved in this way.
GP Registrars
We have a registrar at the practice
continually for typically a twelve
month period. These are fully
qualified doctors who are in the
process of training to be GP’s. They
frequently have extensive experience
in other fields where they have
worked and often ended up teaching
the “resident” GPs almost as much
about these areas as the learn from
the practice. Please co-operate with
their learning as much as possible
by seeing them especially if there
is no appointments available for
your regular Doctor.
Student Practice
Nurses
These are generally fully qualified
nurses who are specialising in
Practice Nursing. They are with us
generally for a six to twelve month
period and undertake all the normal
duties of a practice nurse. Again
they are clearly supervised during
this time and so occasionally the
consultation may take longer than
might typically be expected due to
these checks. These are to ensure
your satisfaction and health so
please bear with us should this be
the case.
