Education and Training

Durnford Medical Centre is affiliated to The North West Deanery and Manchester University Medical School and is involved in the Post-Graduate training of G.P. Specialist Trainees, the Under-Graduate teaching of Medical Students, and occasionally students from other disciplines eg Nursing Students.

Durnford Medical Centre occasionally participates in the training of Doctors who have qualified overseas prior to their working within the NHS.

A G.P. Specialist Trainee is an experienced, qualified and registered Doctor who is undertaking specialist training to become a fully qualified G.P. A Specialist Trainee is expected to perform all of the tasks of a qualified G.P. e.g. surgeries and visits etc. but under the educational supervision and responsibility of a suitably qualified and approved Specialist Trainer.

It is sometimes useful to videotape consultations for teaching or assessment purposes. You will be informed if recording is taking place prior to the consultation, your written consent will be sought prior to and after a recorded consultation and you may ask for recording to be stopped at any time, physical examinations will never be filmed directly although may take place "off camera" while recording continues to take place. Any recording made is subject to the same care and regulations as your written notes and will be deleted when no longer needed.
