GPs in Training

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 MacLeod. 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.

Dr Misha Gilani is currently the GP Registrar at the practice.

Foundation Year 2 (FY2) Doctors

The practice is also accredited for training FY2 doctors. An FY2 is a newly qualified doctor in their second year of UK Foundation Training, who will spend four months attached to the practice, running their own clinics under supervision, learning community care, managing common illnesses (like hospital doctors do), and understanding how primary/secondary care link, gaining broad skills before specialty training, with scheduled teaching and assessments. 

We are proud to be an integral part of training FY2 doctors.

With the patient's consent, trainees may sit in on consultations with the GP or nurse to learn about general practice. They are qualified doctors and you can consult with them as you would with any other doctors in the practice. FY2 doctors have full access to your medical records and they are supervised at all surgeries by the GP trainer. However, if for any reason you would prefer not to see them, please make us aware of this when you make an appointment.

Medical Students

Medical students are sometimes attached to the practice for 2 – 3 years as part of their training. If you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist.
