Training Practice
Central Surgery is privileged to be a part of the NHS Doctor Training Programme. Once doctors are qualified, they undergo further training in a specialty or to become a GP, they are called registrars and are part of the teams looking after patients. The GP Registrars spend a total of 18 months training in surgeries, but not always in the same place. As a result, you may find they spend any time from 6 months to a year at any one practice. They will see patients and take part in their care in ways that are appropriate to their level of training. All doctors must continue to learn throughout their careers and keep up to date in their areas of practice.
