Teaching

Brookside Surgery has been involved in training GPs for well over 10 years. GP Registrars join us for 6 or 12 months during their final year of GP training, they are fully qualified doctors with at least three years experience mainly in hospitals. Video recordings of some consultations with GP Registrars are made as part of their examination process. The consent of the patient is obtained prior to the consultation and can be withdrawn at anytime.

As part of a new programme for medical training, it is now recommended that hospital doctors receive some experience of General Practice. The doctors are in their 3rd year post qualification (Senior House Officer grade) and will spend 4 months with the practice.

We occasionally have student nurses or medical students placed with us who may be present d ring consultations. Patients will always be asked if they object to a student being present.
