Brunswick Surgery is a GP training practice, committed to developing the next generation of family doctors and supporting medical education in our community.
GP registrars
We usually have a GP registrar working with us as part of the team. GP registrars are fully qualified doctors completing their three years of postgraduate training to become a GP. Depending on the stage they are at, they may be with us for between four months and a year.
They have their own surgeries, undertake home visits, and help with on-call duties. They are always supervised and continuously assessed throughout their placement with us.
Patients may occasionally be asked whether they mind having their consultation videoed or their telephone call recorded for assessment purposes. These recordings are strictly confidential and are only ever used by the registrar and their trainer for educational purposes. You are never obliged to agree.
Medical students
We are also linked with St George's Medical School, University of London, and frequently have medical students attending the practice to gain experience of general practice.
You will always be asked whether you are happy for a medical student to be present before you are seen by the doctor. You are free to decline, and this will not affect the care you receive in any way.
