King’s Medical Centre is proud to be an accredited training practice for doctors training to become GPs. The practice is accredited by the East Midlands Deanery.
GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors who already have much experience of hospital medicines but who have decided to specialise in General Practice. They work full-time in the practice for a period of 4 or 12 months dependent upon the stage of training they are at.
They are supervised by King's Medical Centre GP Trainers and provide the same standard of care as the GPs. We are pleased to have them with us as valuable additions to our team.
Consultations are sometimes videoed for training purposes. The recording will only take place if you agree to this; there is no obligation for you to do so. You will be notified beforehand if this is the case and will be asked to sign a consent form.
We are aware of some difficulties when accessing our telephone lines. We are working with our provider to try and improve this.

We would like to remind patients that prescriptions cannot be requested over the phone. We are aware the local pharmacies are also no longer able to take prescription orders over the phone.
