GP Trainees/Physician Associate/Medical Students

GP TRAINEE

 

Holburn Medical Group is an accredited training practice for doctors intending to become GPs. 

 

GP trainees, also known as GP registrars, are fully qualified doctors who have completed at least 2 years of hospital-based training after graduating from medical school. 

 

Trainees are assessed and monitored by their attached clinical supervisor at the practice. 

 

You may be asked for permission to have your telephone or face to face consultation video recorded. This enables GP trainees to have their consulting skills assessed. Your consent will always be sought prior to any recording, and your care will not be affected should you choose not to be recorded.

 

 

PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATE (PA)

 

You may be telephoned or seen by a Physician Associate (PA) at this practice. PAs are not doctors but are highly qualified clinicians who have completed 4 years of a science-based university degree followed by a further 2 years of specialised university training to work alongside doctors. PAs can manage many conditions independently but also have the support of GPs in more complex cases.

 

 

MEDICAL STUDENTS

Medical students, who are training to become doctors, undertake clinical placements at this practice. They learn by observing clinicians and seeing patients alongside a qualified GP. You may be asked to speak with a medical student about your condition during your consultation.

 

Medical students will have supervised access to patient records during their attachment. If you do not want medical students involved with your care, please make staff aware at the first point of contact.
