General Practitioner Registrar and Students

Our Practice is a training and teaching practice. Our registrars are fully qualified doctors and have a great deal of hospital experience. Registrars are attached to our Practice for their training and become GPs after completing their training. At all times they are overseen by one of the GP partners.

When booking an appointment you may be asked if you would see one of our registrars. 

We also have medical students attached to the practice. With the patient’s consent, they may sit in with the GP and learn about general practice.

Practice Management

The Practice Manager is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the Practice, such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology.

The Practice Manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.
