We are a teaching practice and students sometimes sit in with the doctors and nurses. If you prefer not to have a student sitting in, please let the doctor or receptionist know.

General Practitioner Registrars

GP Registrars are often attached to the practice and are fully qualified doctors gaining experience in general practice.
