Training Policy

GPs in Training

Our practice is an approved training site for fully qualified doctors who wish to specialise in General Practice.

  • Experience: GP trainees typically have 2–4 years of experience as qualified hospital doctors working across various specialties.
  • Consultations: They consult patients independently under the mentorship of our trainer, Dr Hannah Walch.
  • Video Recording: Occasionally, we may request permission to video record a consultation for educational purposes.
    • You will always be asked in advance and have the right to decline without affecting your care.
    • No recording will take place without your consent, and the camera will be switched off immediately upon request.
    • Recordings are used solely for training and are destroyed after use.

Current GP Trainee: Dr Georgina Scarff

Medical Students

Medical students may be attached to the practice for short placements (typically 6–8 weeks) as part of their training.

  • You will be informed if a student is present during your consultation.
  • If you prefer not to have a student present, please inform the receptionist—this will not affect your care.
