GP Registrars
Charter Medical Centre is
a training practice for GP
registrars.
A GP registrar is
an experienced doctor who has
decided to pursue a career in
general practice.
The registrar is usually based in
the Practice for one year and is
fully supervised by one of the
doctors who has been trained to
teach. You will be informed when
booking your appointment if you are
seeing the registrar. You may
choose to see a GP rather than a
registrar and this will not affect
your consultation in any way.
The Practice needs to be inspected
for this purpose and this involves
inspection of the medical records.
Only doctors approved for this
purpose will do this and they will
respect completely the
confidentiality of the information.
If you do not wish
your notes to be subjected to a
confidential review, please let us
know in writing,
addressing
your letter to Margot
Redwood, Practice Manager.
Periodically
during their training, GP registrars
are required to video tape their
consultations. This allows for
analysis of their consultation
skills. These videos are completely
confidential and are viewed only by
experienced trainers. You will be
informed prior to seeing the
registrar if a surgery is being
recorded and you will be asked for
your full consent to the recording
prior to seeing the doctor. If you
do not wish to be filmed, the camera
will be switched off. This will in
no way affect your consultation.
Medical and Pharmacy Students
Medical and pharmacy
students from Brighton University
sometimes spend time visiting the
practice. As students, they observe
consultations but do not treat
patients. You will be informed if a
student is observing consultations
and you may choose not to have one
present when you see the doctor.
