Teaching Practice

Dear Patients,

You will be aware we are a teaching practice for Queen’s University, Belfast. We provide clinical attachments for 4^th year medical students over the academic year. We greatly appreciate your cooperation with allowing the students to take part in your consultations and our students always report very positive feedback on their experience here. Thank you for your patience and friendliness towards them.

Providing a positive experience in General Practice is very important in encouraging young doctors to train as the GPs of the future.

We have recently agreed to work with the Ulster University to provide a clinical attachment for their new Physician’s Associate (PA) post graduate course.

We are a teaching practice for  PA trainees. Trainees will be learning with all members of our team including the Doctors and the Practice Nurses. We would like to thank you in anticipation of your help in providing them with a varied clinical experience over the next 2 years.

As always you will be informed when your health care professional is working with a student and we do appreciate that there may be times when you would prefer not to have a student involved in your consultation and we will understand if you decline.
