STUDENT DOCTOR

Help train the doctors of the future

We have a Medical Student with us until 22 October 2021. Medical School students have the patient’s perspective at the centre of their medical training. Students are supervised at all times by  a health care professional – usually a doctor. By supporting their training programme you are helping our students to become better patient-centred doctors of the future.

If you have any concerns about being seen by a student, please contact a member of staff.
