The Practice is a training practice for Peninsula Medical School undergraduates. There may occasionally be students sitting in with the doctor, and you will of course be informed if this is the case. If you would prefer not to see the student just let us know.
In order to maintain a consistently high quality of service to our patients, we will from time to time employ other GPs at the surgery. You may be offered an appointment with one of these doctors when your doctor is away or fully booked.
