Medical Students
The practice has medical students from Newcastle University who are not yet qualified doctors but who are studying Medicine. You may find that a student is present during surgery or you may be asked to see them first. Whilst we would always encourage you to consult with them, if you would prefer to see the doctor without the student in attendance please let the receptionist or doctor know.
