GP Training

This is a teaching practice and we have GP Registrars attached to the General Practice as part of their training.

These doctors hold surgeries, make home visits, help at clinics and take part in the emergency rota.

One of the fully registered doctors or associate doctors supervise the Registrar and are available for advice immediately if necessary.

The GP Registrars are fully registered with the General Medical Council and have several years post graduate experience.

Many of the things that you might think you need to see a doctor about can often be dealt with by nurses, all whom have been trained to deal with some medical problems.

Indeed, for some things the nurse is more experienced at dealing with the problem than a doctor. Routine blood pressure checks, HRT and contraceptive prescribing, minor illness management and management of diabetes, coronary heart disease, asthma and COPD and many conditions come within their expertise.

The practice nurses also run daily triage clinics (triage clinic is a clinic for patients who just feel unwell for one reason or another).
