Registrar As our practice is a training practice we will have a registrar in post. GP registrars are fully qualified doctors who have chosen general practice as the career that they wish to pursue and who will be gaining valuable experience by being based at our practice for 12 months. At all times they provide care of the same standard as that provided by the other doctors at the surgery. Sometimes patients are requested to allow their consultation with the registrar or one of the other doctors to be videotaped. This is for educational purposes and helps doctors improve their skills. If you do not wish your consultation to be videotaped, just say so: your care will not be affected in any way. Senior doctors monitoring training standards in the practice may occasionally view patient records. |
