The GP Registrar The practice is a recognised training practice and often benefits from the services of general practitioner registrars. They are fully qualified doctors who have worked in hospitals for at least three years, after finishing medical school. They join us for a year to gain experience in general practice. As part of their assessment programme the GP registrars are required to make a video of a few of their consultations during the year. These videos are strictly confidential and the patient will always be asked for their consent before proceeding. The practice has to apply to re-register as a training practice every three years. During this process, a qualified doctor from another practice may inspect patients’ medical notes.Rest assured that the inspecting doctor is bound by the same rules regarding confidentiality as our own doctors and practice staff. |
