👩⚕️ GP Training Practice
At Holes Lane Medical Centre, we are proud to be a GP training practice. This means we support the next generation of doctors by providing high-quality training in general practice.
You may sometimes be:
Offered an appointment with a qualified doctor who is gaining further experience in general practice.
Asked if a doctor in training or a medical student may sit in during your consultation.
If you would prefer to see your doctor in private, please just let us know – your care will not be affected.
🩺 GP Registrar Doctors
Registrar doctors are fully qualified doctors who have chosen to specialise in general practice.
They complete a minimum of six months of supervised training with us.
They work closely with our GP partners to provide safe, high-quality care.
🩺 Foundation Year 2 (FY2) Doctors
We also host Foundation Year 2 doctors (FY2s) as part of their training.
FY2 doctors are qualified hospital doctors who are gaining valuable experience in general practice.
They are able to see patients independently but are always supported and supervised by our GP team.
Their placements usually last for four months.
This training helps them decide on their future career path while giving them essential skills in patient care within the community.
🎓 Medical Students
We are also a community teaching practice for Health Education North West. With your consent, medical students may join your consultation under the supervision of your doctor or nurse.
This helps them:
Learn essential skills to become good doctors.
Understand patient experiences and perspectives.
Your support is greatly appreciated, but participation is always your choice. If you have any questions about teaching in our practice, please speak with your doctor or our Practice Manager.
👉 By welcoming registrar doctors, FY2 doctors, and medical students, you are playing an important role in shaping the future of healthcare.
