GP Registrars
Those patients who know our practice well will realise that we often have one or sometimes “extra” doctors working with us, known as a GP registrars. They are doctors who are fully qualified and will usually have completed several years as a junior doctor in hospitals. The registrar has to undergo a period of further training to learn those special skills that he/she will need as a general practitioner and will be closely supervised. Our patients gain the opportunity to see a different doctor, replete with the latest ideas, but secure in the knowledge that their own GP is always in the background, ready with advice and help if necessary.
