GP Registrars are attached to the Practice in rotation.  GP Registrars are hospital doctors wishing to become General Practitioners and who spend time with us to gain the experience they need to become family doctors.

The Doctors aim to offer a high standard of medical care and are actively involved in training, audit and research.

For administrative purposes you will be registered with the practice but you are free to consult with any of the doctors. We believe, however, that your care is improved when you get to know one specific Doctor. We advise that in particular you stay with one Doctor for anyone episode of illness. There may be times when it will be necessary to see another Doctor, especially during holidays and at busy times.
