Trainee Placements

From time to time there will be Foundation Year 2 (FY2) Doctors working with the surgery for a 4 month period. A FY2 is a qualified doctor spending time in general practice, whilst gaining higher qualifications.

Our surgery is also committed to supporting a diverse skill mix of clinical staff which includes Physician Associates and Medical students e.g. Paramedics and nurses who are each mentored and supported by our clinical team.

  • Patients are informed if the medical students are in attendance.
  • If you do not want a student to be present, please tell the clinician.
