Whilst the Practice has supported 5th year Medical Students and Foundation Programme Doctors for several years, we are excited to announce that we are in the process of becoming an approved training practice, training GP Specialist Trainees (sometimes known as GP Registrars).
The GP Trainee is a fully qualified and experienced doctor near the end of their training to be a GP. Before the end of the year, we intend to have at least one trainee working with us as they gain experience in general practice.
Trainee doctors do a variety of jobs in hospital before spending either six or twelve months in the practice with us.
Dr Allana Cappiello and Dr Jay Mackenzie will be our designated GP Trainers in the practice. With this in mind, all doctors in the practice have a significant role to play in training our assigned doctors. The doctors are supervised throughout their journey with us and in addition to the doctors being assessed, the Practice is also inspected periodically.
Aside from the experience of having worked in alternative medical environments prior to joining us, patients will also benefit from additional appointment availability during their time with us.
Please be aware that, as part of the doctors’ training programme, they will have to video a certain number of consultations for assessment. You will always be asked in advance for your consent.
