Training

From time to time in this practice we are responsible for the supervision of various students who are involved in training for their respective professions. This means that during consultations there may be additional people present and they may be performing relevant clinical tasks as part of their training.

You will be informed if there is to be a trainee present at a consultation. If you have any objections at all to the presence of students during your consultation, then please make your views known to the supervising member of staff or to the receptionist prior to your appointment.
