Training practice

We are a training practice where medical students, nurses and other health care professionals may gain experience.

We also regularly have medical students attached to our practice. There is a notice in our waiting room explaining that a student may be present during your consultation.

We hope that if you might find the presence of a student in any way embarrassing or inhibiting, you will inform the receptionists so that you will be able to see your doctor or nurse alone.

Some consultations are recorded on video for educational purposes but once again only with your consent.
