The Doctors,
Nurses and Staff of Riverside
Medical Practice have a strong
commitment to training.
All members of the team will
undertake training from time to
time, and we would ask for your
forbearance and indulgence of this.
Please remember, its ultimate
purpose is to provide you with
better care.
Video Recording of Consultations
From time to time you may be asked
if you would agree to undertaking
having your consultation recorded on
Video Tape. Rest assured that at all
times this is entirely voluntary,
and your care will not in any way be
prejudiced if you decline to do so.
Your written consent will be sought
both before and after the
consultation. The camera is
unobtrusive, and you will very
quickly forget that it is present.
At no time will recording cover any
intimate examination or similar.
The purpose of the video-recording
is for the education and /or
assessment of the Health
Professional involved. It enables us
to check that Consulting Style and
Content is appropriate, and is
extremely useful for ensuring good
clinical practice.
GP Registrars
These are fully qualified doctors,
usually of several years, who
already hold experience of Medical
Practice within the Hospital
Setting. They are undertaking a year
or more of training specifically in
General Practice. They are
supervised by a doctor within the
Practice at all times. They have a
specialist GP trainer, currently Dr
Kiln, who is assisted by Dr Syme and
Dr J Kennedy.
Medical Students
Occasionally we have a medical
student present with the Doctor
during consultation watching him/her
working. We will always ask if you
mind having a student present when
you see the Doctor. If you are not
happy then the student will leave.
Do not hesitate to tell us. We know
it can be difficult to speak to the
Doctor when someone else is there.
At some stage, once the student has
some experience, then we may ask you
to speak to the student first, then
the Doctor will come in and see you.
Foundation
Year Doctors
Occasionally we have a foundation
year Doctor working alongside us.
This will be a qualified Doctor in
their first year of employment who
will work directly under the
supervision of one of the partners.
Specialist
Trainee 1, 2 and 3
We often have a qualified specialist
trainee Doctor working with us. They
normally have several years
experience in hospital work and are
with us for 12 to 18 months to
complete their GP training.
