Our practice is a recognised training practice. This is considered a mark of quality. A registrar is a fully qualified doctor who after a great deal of hospital experience decides to work in general practice. They are with us for a year. They are at all times encouraged to seek advice from the practice partners. From time to time the doctor in training will undertake joint surgeries with the partners and you may be asked to give your consent to another doctor being present during your consultation. The doctors in training are also required to video some of their surgery consultations in order that they can perfect their consultation style. You may be asked if you would be willing for your consultation to be recorded for training purposes only.
We are pleased to be associated with Birmingham University Medical School. All of the doctors at the practice are involved in teaching undergraduate medical students. Medical students owe you the same duty of confidentiality as your regular doctor. If you do not wish to have a medical student present at your consultation, please let our receptionists know in advance. Your care will be affected in no way. Different doctors teach on different days, but all might have students sitting in on any day. Occasionally, a video recorder may be used during a consultation. You may of course refuse to be videotaped, but it important for our teaching purposes. Tapes made are completely confidential and are erased as soon as they have been used.
