Trainee GPs and Medical Students
Trainee GPs and Medical Students
As part of our commitment to training, qualified doctors are based in the surgery on 6 monthly placements to continue their training. Doctors who then wish to specialise as GPs continue their training for 12 months. As part of this training process, consultations may be recorded but this will not be done unless written patient consent has been obtained before and after the consultation.
We have also become involved in the training of medical students from Keele University. This means that students may be sitting in with GPs during their surgery but you will always be given the opprtunity to decide whether or not you you are happy for the student to be present during the consultation.

Nurses
Our nurses can be seen by appointment. You may also be seen by a nurse for assessment if you are requesting an urgent appointment with a doctor. As some of our nurses have special areas of expertise, the receptionist may ask the reason for your appointment so that you can be directed to the most appropriate member of the staff. Obviously, you have a choice as to whether or not you are prepared to divulge this information.
