Teaching GP Practice

We are an approved GP Training Practice.

We have been formally assessed and accredited as a suitable environment for training doctors who are progressing through their specialist pathway to become General Practitioners.

We provide a supportive, structured and well‑supervised learning environment where GP registrars (resident doctors) can develop the clinical experience, consultation skills and professional competencies set out in the GP curriculum.

Our approach ensures trainees gain confidence, capability and a strong understanding of safe, effective primary care.

 

Dr JS Chaggar is an experienced and GMC‑approved GP Trainer who leads our training programme.

He provides personalised tuition, guidance and supervision, supported by the wider multidisciplinary primary care team.

This collaborative model helps trainees learn from a broad range of professionals, reflecting the realities of modern general practice.

Research consistently shows that patients attending training practices often report higher satisfaction with their care.

The presence of trainees encourages reflective practice, keeps the team up‑to‑date with new clinical developments, and strengthens the teaching and consultation skills of all clinicians. It also supports a culture of continuous improvement and shared learning.

In essence, an approved GP Training Practice plays a vital role in developing the next generation of GPs, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge, skills and professionalism required to deliver high‑quality, patient‑centred medical care.

You may occasionally be asked for permission for a medical student or trainee doctor to sit in during your consultation.

In some cases, your consultation may be video‑recorded for teaching and assessment purposes.

Your consent will always be requested beforehand, and you are free to decline without it affecting your care in any way.
