GP Registrars
We are a training practice which means we are involved with training of junior doctors, as well as medical students. A GP Registrar is a fully qualified and registered doctor training to be a GP. Before they come to our practice they have worked for several years as hospital doctors and are now learning to develop their skills and knowledge to work within a General Practice environment. All GPs undergo this training before they can become fully qualified GPs in their own right.

Physician Associate
A Physician Associate, or 'PA', is a new healthcare professional role who, while not a doctor, works to the medical model, with the attitudes, skills and knowledge base to deliver holistic care and treatment within the General Practice team. They work under supervision from the GPs in the practice and are important members of the extended medical team.
