GP Registrars
GP registrars, are fully qualified and registered doctors, ie they have passed out of medical school and completed their 2 years of preregistration in hospital and been admitted as fully registered doctors on to the GMC list.
They are currently on a 3 year GP registration course, this involves further hospital medical training in specialities which may include paediatrics, geriatrics, psychiatry, dermatology and general medicine etc. and an attachment to a practice under a supervising qualified GP. All GPs must undergo this training before they can become fully qualified GPs in their own right.
Exactly similar training periods occur in all the hospital specialities, where qualified doctors undergo further training in their chosen field, on the way to becoming either Consultants or Speciality Registrars.
Medical Students
We are also fortunate to have medical students attached to our Practice for short periods of time, all medical students are currently undertaking studies at a local university and have passed strict vetting procedures and are bound by the same level of confidentilaity as any other clinician. If you have any concerns about this, please don't hesitate to mention this at either the time of booking your appointment or upon entering the consultation room.
