We are also a training practice and continually have GP registrars with us at Gowerton, supervised by the partners. They are fully-qualified doctors who join the practice to complete their specialist training in general practice and who have already spent at least three years working in hospitals. They will often have more time to spend with you. We may ask you if we can video-record your consultation as part of the training programme but you do not have to agree.
Our practice is a community teaching practice for Swansea University Medical School, Cardiff University Scool of Medicine and King’s College London School of Medicine. With the supervision of your doctor or nurse, medical students may, with your consent in advance, to join your consultation. This is one way medical students learn to become good doctors and understand patiient views about their care. We appreciate your help with their learning. Please let your doctor or practice manager know if you have any questions about our community medical teaching.
