In addition to our permanent members of staff we may have up to three junior doctors attached to our practice. These doctors are with us from 4 to 6 months and this forms and important part of their training.
You may notice that these doctors need to discuss your case with a more senior doctor, and will from time to time video their surgery or have another doctor sit in on their surgery. This is all part of their training and the assessment process. You will be asked for your permission at all times if your consultation is being recorded or if another doctor will be sitting in.
