Training of GP’s (GP Registrars)
Dr Imogen Webb is our current GP Registrar at the Practice. She will be with us from Aug 2021 – Jan 2022. Her GP Trainer is Dr R Garth.
Appleby Medical Practice became involved in training GP’s in August 2020.
We feel that this enhances the quality of care given to the community by stimulating discussion and debate about new ideas and different practices.
All GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors. Training in general practice takes three years from the time of becoming a GP Registrar to the time of qualifying to practice as a GP. The three years are divided into selected hospital and general practice posts. The GP attachment is usually split into a six month period in the surgery at the beginning and end of their training. Before being able to work independently in general practice, all Registrars must pass a set of exams.
Whilst undergoing their training at Appleby, GP Registrars are closely supervised by an approved trainer. At Appleby we have one approved trainer; Dr R Garth, although the whole team participates and supports the training process, we are also fortunate to be able to expand the trainees learning by spending time with the additional teams within the building; community nurses and midwives etc.
Patients should be aware that as part of the process of training, it is necessary for GP Registrars to discuss patients with their Trainer. This involves confidentially viewing patients medical records. You can expect GP Registrars to provide a full range of GP services.
