We are an approved training practice for doctors who wish to specialise in general practice. This means we have additional doctors, called Registrars, working with us.

As a consequence, occasionally your permission may be asked for two doctors to be present at your consultation or for your consultation to be recorded on video. These recorded consultations are used in strict confidence for training purposes only and are erased after use. You are under no obligation to give your permission. Your decision will not affect your treatment.
