Keeping up to
date is an ongoing issue in medicine. We decided that training Doctors
would give us the incentive and setting to improve our skills and
knowledge into the future.
Medical Students
The Practice has medical students from Bristol University on a frequent basis. This can involve them sitting in with a Doctor during a surgery or possibly seeing people before they see the Doctor. Of course all the Doctors are happy if patients decide they would rather not see a student. Please let the reception know when you arrive. We also tell everyone when they book an appointment that a student is present.
University Attached Doctors.
Links with the Bristol University are increasing and we were fortunate to have Dr Louise Younie at Woodside half time. The other half of her time is spent teaching at the University. Once again she adds to the opportunities for us all to learn.
GP Registrars.
Woodside has a new GP Registrar in August
2007 organised by Dr
Katharine Alsop. The GP registrar is a qualified Doctor who works in practice for a year before becoming a GP. At the end of the year we aim for them to be fully qualified and competent to work as a GP. We also aim for them to get job satisfaction, enjoy seeing all sorts of people and have a thirst for continued education right through their career.
Sometimes they may need to video their surgery but once again the patient is always fully informed before they book and it is always possible to say "no thanks" and the camera is removed. The videos are only used for educational purposes and destroyed when used. It is a really useful educational tool for us, so thanks in advance.
Dr Melanie Hill will be at Woodside until August 2008
Jeff Clark and Dr Katharine Alsop are both GP trainers.
