Training Practice
Newland Medical Practice is a training practice. Every August a new registrar joins us and receives 12 months GP training. A Foundation doctor will also join the practice every 4 months for training. We are also involved in the education and training of medical and nursing students. We would be grateful if you would accept them as part of the practice.
The doctor will inform you if a student is in attendance. They will ask if you are agreeable to them staying during the consultation. You have the right to say no. The students are the doctors and nurses of the future and practical experience is invaluable to them. Please help and encourage them as much as possible
Practice Development Training
Multi-disciplinary training takes place on the fourth Wednesday of every month or when advised. The practice closes from 1.00 pm onwards. A notice will be placed in the waiting area informing patients when this takes place.
Sometimes it will be necessary to close for one hour at lunchtime for staff meetings. These will be advertised in advance.
