Medical Trainees and Students The practice undertakes teaching of Medical Trainees and Students. You will be told on arrival at the surgery if a trainee is with the Doctor. If you do not want the trainee present please inform the receptionist and GP

GP Registrar We are a training practice and usually have a GP Registrar in post. They are fully qualified experienced doctors who have previously worked mainly in hospitals. They are required to work for 12 months in general practice prior to becoming a GP. Current registrars at the Practice are Dr Lucy Sutton, Dr Stephen Gerrard, Dr Zahid Chauhan, Dr Sabba Janjua and Dr Zafor Jatoi.

Outside commitments. Several of the GPs hold appointments outside of the practice, this work is important for both the practice and the wider population but it does mean that these doctors have reduced time in the practice. Dr Martin spends some time as a diabetic specialist doctor and working for Bury PCT in a managerial role; Dr Stokes is responsible for the education of doctors training for general practice locally and is also a director of the out of hours provider, BARDOC; Dr Cornmell and Dr Livingstone are involved in Family Planning and Young Person Advisory services in the Bury area.
