Registrars
We are a training practice approved for the postgraduate training of doctors in general practice and we view education as an integral part of Poplar Grove Practice.
GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors who have mainly hospital experience. They consult jointly with our GPs and on their own, regularly videoing the consultation element of their surgeries for training purposes. If a registrar is videoing their consultations you will be informed in advance of your appointment and asked to sign a consent form should you agree to be recorded. You do not have to agree to your consultation with the doctor being recorded. If you do not wish to be recorded please tell Reception; this is not a problem and will not affect your consultation in any way.
