Resident Doctors

They are fully qualified doctors undertaking specialist training in general practice and see patients with a wide range of health concerns under the support of our experienced clinical team. With your consent, consultations may occasionally be used for training purposes, including supervised observation or video recording, which is always confidential and used solely for education and assessment.

Locums

From time to time we may have GP locums working within the surgery. They are qualified GPs who choose to work for a number of practices, rather than becoming a partner in any one practice. GP locums may be used to provide sufficient appointments at times when we are particularly busy or when one of our partners is absent from the surgery. You can be assured that we only employ locums in whom we have the utmost confidence.
