Have you been offered an appointment with one of our trainee/student doctors here at the surgery and are feeling a little bit dubious about it? 🤔

We're here to tell you everything you need to know and quash any concerns you may have! 🙌🏼

🟢We are actively involved in training young doctors and have been for decades. It is a key component of our mission statement: "Our aim is to deliver first class patient care from a motivated and supportive team and to be an inspirational training and research hub."

🟢Doctors come to us at various stages in their training. All have already qualified as doctors from their medical schools.

🟢The shortest time anyone can become a GP is 10 years - 5 at medical school and 5 in doctor training posts.

🟢We also host medical students from Keele University and Three Counties Medical School, as well as nursing students from Worcester University.

🟢Medical students are supervised and supported by our qualified, experienced GPs at all times.
