Teaching & Training at The Practice

We are proud to be a teaching practice with two trainers who oversee the training of qualified doctors from the Mansfield Vocational Training Scheme.

GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors who undertake a period of training in hospital before coming to General Practice. They have regular debriefs and assessments within the practice and have to work towards completing the national General Practice qualification MRCGP.

GP Registrars spend 4-12 months with us. They can be consulted in the same way as any of the other GPs in the practice.

Video Recording of Consultations

This is an important training tool for registrars to learn about communication / consultation skills. You may be asked for permission to video your consultation, and if you are happy, your written consent will be sought. You will be informed when booking the appointment, if the registrar is videoing consultations during that session. You have the right to opt out and this will NOT affect your consultation or care.

All videos are only viewed by the registrar and other GPs in the practice.

Medical Students

The practice regularly welcomes medical students from Nottingham University. They are usually with us for one morning and will sit in with one of the GPs. You will be informed on arrival that a medical student is present, and should you prefer to see the GP without the student present, this is not a problem – please just let the receptionist know and he/she will inform the doctor.

It is important that students get used to talking to patients and therefore, you may sometimes be asked if you would mind talking to the student about one or two of your medical problems. We are always grateful for your help in training our future doctors, but we do understand if you would like to opt out.
