Overview

We aim to provide our patients with a high standard of medical care in a caring and professional manner.

The ethos of our practice is to treat others how we ourselves would wish to be treated and we respectfully ask that you do the same.

As an approved teaching and training practice, ongoing education is key:

* for ourselves - to keep up-to-date with treatment choices & good practice;

* for our patients - to enable them to benefit from good quality advice, treatment & supported self-care; &

* for the doctors & students we teach - to develop good habits & safe working practices.

We also value your help and support with the doctors and students we train – real patients talking to our students about their health problems provides a valuable learning opportunity, very different than textbooks!

As good communication is at the heart of the personal service we provide, we also value your feedback and use this to constantly review and improve our services to you. During the time you’re registered with us, if you have any suggestions about how we might improve our services for you (within the resources we have available) then please share these with us; we are happy to hear and consider your suggestions.

We look forward to working with you and in your best interests to improve or manage your health needs, keeping you as healthy as possible.

Our GP training activities

Our practice is approved to train fully qualified hospital doctors to become GPs. Dr Simonton is the trainer and supervises the GP registrar for the year they are learning with us about practising family medicine. As part of this training, we sometimes ask for our patients’ agreement for the communication part of the consultation to be videotaped. Your wishes are always respected and all recorded information deleted after review.

We also teach newly qualified doctors about general practice as part of their overall medical training. To do this properly, they need adequate clinical and educational supervision. Drs Ferguson, O'Malley & Burgess are the tutors for our FY2 doctors, who are placed with us in blocks of 4 months at a time.

We also teach medical students during their earlier years and this often entails them meeting patients with specific medical conditions linked with the topic they're studying at the time. All patient contact is useful to them (rather than just textbook learning) and allows them to improve their consultation and questionning skills. We often request that some of our patients help with our medical students' training, and are really grateful for this!

Overall, our training activities bring fresh skills, up-to-date thinking and enquiring minds to our practice. Sometimes, our learners needs may slightly impact on your ability to see your usual GP as quickly as you would like. We hope you understand the reasons for this and we always aim not to reduce the overall number of appointments available as a result of our training and teaching activities.
