We are a training practice and we may offer you an appointment with a GP registrar. These doctors are fully qualified and will have worked in several hospitals. They are completing their specialist training as a GP.
We also teach medical students and sometimes we may ask you to see the doctor or nurse with a student present. We will always ask you if this is acceptable. You may ask for the student to leave if you prefer to have your appointment in private.
Could you help train the healthcare professionals of the future?
Newcastle University School of Medicine trains a range of students who will work within our NHS. Our students will become doctors, physician associates and clinical scientists.
The Patients as Partners in Healthcare Education service aims to involve patients and volunteers from across our region. Working with patients and volunteers is a hugely valuable part of our student’s training that helps them to develop excellent communication and examination skills as well as developing their bedside manner
We want to hear from people with lived experience of healthcare or interested volunteers who feel they could support our student’s to develop these important skills.
