Registrars

We are a training practice and have qualified doctors gaining general practice experience working with us.

The GP Registrar is mentored by our doctors and very occasionally video record their consultations, which are only viewed by the mentoring doctor. They may also ask you to complete an assessment questionnaire, to give feedback on your consultation.  You will always be asked to consent to this before entering the consultation room. You do not have to agree, but all feedback is useful for the registrar’s assessment.

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. They are required to ask you for a brief description of your symptoms if you request an urgent appointment or a home visit; this is so they can help the doctors prioritise their emergency care.
