Vocational Training for General Practice

Our Practice participates in the advanced training of doctors who wish to become general practitioners. Qualified doctors who have already completed at least three years work in hospital medicine join us to complete their training.They are known as registrars. They take part in all aspects of medical care, and we hope you will accept their services as an extension of our own. On occasions there will be a video recording of patients’ consultations. These will not be made without the patient’s consent and physical examinations will not be recorded.

Hospital Doctors

We are now participating in the training of young Hospital Doctors, currently known as F2s (Foundation Year 2). They have completed the first postgraduation year as housemen in hospital and are gaining experience in general practice before embarking on full general practice or specialist training. This can only be good for future specialists!! They usually spend 4 months with us and are often amazed at the amount of work that is done outside hospitals. 

Medical Students

We participate in training of medical students from Oxford. The students observe our clinical team in action, but do not see patients unless under

supervision from one of the GPs.
