Medical students and Physician Assistants are attached to the surgery for four or five week units throughout the year. All our students are in their 1st or 2nd year of their course at The University of Lancashire, and come here to gain experience in general practice.
The students are placed with both doctors and nurses; the receptionist may ask when you attend for an appointment if you have any objection to the student’s presence.
The students do find this time invaluable and rewarding, and your co-operation is greatly appreciated.
