We are accredited as a training practice for GP Specialty Trainees. You may be offered an appointment with one of our GP trainees. They are fully supervised and overseen by our GP trainers.

Our GP trainees occasionally video their consultations for learning purposes. They will always ask your permission in the consultation, but if you object to your consultation being recorded, you can let us know when booking an appointment.
