The Oaks Medical Practice
as a Training Practice
GP Trainees
The practice is involved in training the next generation of GPs. So we often
have a GP Trainee working with us to learn all about general practice. GP
Trainee are fully qualified doctors who have completed several years in posts
in hospitals gaining experiences in different specialties. To complete their
training they must spend time in a practice. Their training involves an
element of video consultations. You will always be asked if you wish to
participate in this.
Pre Registration House Officers
From time to time we may have a newly qualified doctor spending 4 months
with us as part of the probationary year all doctors must spend before becoming
finally fully registered. These doctors have spent 5 years training as doctors.
However they will have limited experience and as such will be much more closely
supervised than GP Trainees, usually discussing all cases with a GP who will
have to sign all their prescriptions.
Medical Students
We are also involved in training medical students. You will be asked if you will agree to see a medical student to discuss your case. You will then always go on to see a GP who will decide on your care.
The Doctors continuing professional
development
All doctors have to continue to learn even after becoming GPs. We are
required now to spend many hours in educational pursuits each year. Areas of
improvement are identified with help from GP tutors and plans made to learn more
in these subjects.
As part of our continuing training we all may
from time to time ask to video our consultations. You will have a choice whether
you wish to be involved.
Drs Naik, Denning, Dr Khaira and Dr Sahajpal have trained as
trainers for our GP trainees and House Officers. Dr Riza and Dr Sahajpal have additionally trained to teach medical students.
Staff and Nurses
We organise training sessions for our staff in for example our computer
system.
The nurses just like the doctors are required
to attend courses and training in for example management of asthma. The nurses
that you might find call you back on occasion to discuss your emergency problems
have been sent on Triage training.
