Practice Doctors

Practice Doctors

We are proud to be a very busy training practice and fortunate enough to host many Doctors and under graduates in training. The trainees range from senior medical students from Dundee University and Brighton University, Postgraduate trainees in hospital and General Practice training schemes and also Community Pharmacists. The Doctor that you speak to will make sure you are offered the most appropriate appointment that can be offered so that your issue can be dealt with as quickly as possible.

ALL TRAINEES ARE SUPERVISED BY THE LEAD GPs. We are proud to have created the only GP training centre in the UK and you may be offered an appointment in that facility which is located on the ground floor next door to Boots. This is accessed at the front of the crescent from the outside. This is appointment only.
