Knoll Medical Practice is an approved training practice for the training of General Practice Registrars (GPRs). Only NHS England approved training practices can train GP trainees.
This means we have trainees and student doctors with us for a fixed amount of time at different stages of their training. Some may only be spending some time in General Practice before moving onto other specialities, whilst others are finishing their training to become GP’s.
Being an approved training practice means that:
- patients can directly contribute to the training of future GPs
- patients who consult with the GPR will have longer consultations
- it keeps all doctors and nurses keep in touch with new medical developments and skills
- It improves all doctors and nurse’s consultation and training skills
- It ensures that clinical standards and standards of medical record keeping are maintained
- It helps with recruitment of high quality doctors to the practice for job vacancies
As a patient your appointment may be scheduled with a Medical Student or GP Registrar, as appropriate. In order to support their development and studies, every training doctor is allocated a GP within the practice who will supervise and oversee the clinics and consultations.
