GP Registrars
We currently have 2 GP Registrars: Dr Woodhouse and Dr Saber (both male)
As a training practice we take GP Registrars on a 6 month rotation. They are fully qualified and have already done training in hospitals.
You can expect them to provide a full range of GP services. If they are not certain about what to do they will ask more senior colleagues for advice.
