Parbold Surgery is an accredited training practice.
Doctors attend medical school for 5 years as an undergraduate. On qualification as a doctor, they become Foundation Doctors for 2 years. They then enter speciality training as either a GP for a further 3 years or hospital training for 5 years. During the last year of GP speciality training doctors are known as GP Registrars and are attached to a training practice for 1 year. Thus although junior doctors may see you they will typically be in their 10th year of training.
Our current junior doctors are:
- Dr Nicolas Pipis (m)
- Dr Praveen Rajagopal (m)
- Dr Andrew Hibbert (m)
- Dr Meenakshi Goel (f)
- Dr Marcin Leniart (m)
- Dr Monika Gwiazda (f)
- Dr Coral Davies (f)
As a patient you may book appointments with our junior doctors. On some occasions you may be asked if you mind having your consultation videoed for training purposes. You can refuse both before or after the consultation and this will have no impact on your consultation. Such videos are used to train doctors in techniques such as communication skills. They are watched with their GP Trainer and a small number are watched by doctors from outside the practice. No none medical staff view these videos.
