Doctors
GP Registrar Training
Fully qualified doctors with several years' hospital experience complete their training by working here as GP Registrars for six months to one year.
We video-record some consultations for teaching, assessment and for postgraduate exam requirements.
You do not have to have your consultation video-recorded if you do not want to. This will not affect your care in any way. We will always ask your written consent before and after a video consultation.
