A Training Practice

Protected Time for Learning and Team Development

Approximately three times a year the practice will hold a clinical teaching session which we called Quality Half Day. This protected time is used for various updates and training to take place. The practice employs locum GPs for this session to allow all GPs to attend and to minimise any disruption to patients care.

Emergency cover, as at weekends, and evenings is provided by NHS111

Training Practice

We are proud to provide training for the next generation of doctor and nurses and are rated as "Excellent" by Health Education England as a provider of GP training. We have also been award the University of Exeter Medical School Award for Innovation and Excellence in medical student teaching.

You may at times be offered a appointment with a qualified doctor who is gaining experience in General Practice or asked if a student may be present while you consult with your own doctor.  You will be offered the opportunity to decline if you are not happy with this arrangement.
