GP Registrars
We have a long history of training GP trainees and have a few trainees at a time. These trainees are fully qualified doctors, often in the last years of training before qualifying as GPs.
Medical Students
We may at times have medical students from Queen Mary’s University on placement in the surgery with us. If your appointment is ever with them, they will be supervised by one of our GPs and are required to discuss each case with a GP.
