GP Registrars
The practice has been a training practice for GP registrars since 2000, successfully passing several quality assessments to achieve this. GP Registrars are qualified doctors fully registered with the GMC who are completing their specialist training before becoming fully qualified GPs. We also provide training for medical students from Keele University. All colleagues in training are closely supervised by an experienced GP who is always available to them. Registrars are usually in GP Practice for at least 12 months as an ST3.
Foundation Doctors
Foundation year 2 (F2) doctors are fully qualified doctors with experience of hospital medicine. They are pursuing a career in hospital medicine but, as part of their training they spend time in general practice to help further develop their core skills. They also contribute to the education and training of the wider healthcare workforce. You may be offered an appointment with the F2 doctor. An F2 Doctor is closely supervised by an experienced GP who will be always available to them during their placement, this is usually for 4 months training in General Practice.
