Training Practice

GP Registrars
The London Deanery approved our practice to become a Training Practice for fully qualified doctors who wish to specialise in General Medicine. Teaching and training has always been part of the practice ethos. We have enhanced our commitment to medical education by taking on the responsibility of training, under the leadership of Dr Sanjay Lakhani. We train doctors attached to the Northwick Park Hospital vocational training scheme, who wish to gain additional specialist experience and training to become General Practitioners. These doctors work as part of the practice team for one year. For the purpose of their training, they are required to video consultations. You will be advised in advance of this, and asked to sign a consent form. If you do not wish your consultation to be videoed, please advise the receptionist.

Foundation Doctors (year 2)
Dr Julia Gerrard oversees the training of junior doctors who are with us as part of their postgraduate medical training. These are doctors who may go on to work in either general practice or hospital medicine.

Medical Students
Periodically, medical students visit the practice. They may be present with a doctor during a consultation or on a home visit. This will only occur with your consent. If you would prefer NOT to have a medical student present, please tell the receptionist when you have checked-in for your appointment. From time to time, you may also see medical students wandering around the building. This is because they are attending a teaching session in practice. If you have any concerns, please advise one of our helpful reception staff or our practice manager.
