TrainingWe may have medical students in the final rotation of their university course. The students will always be supervised and will not be allowed to diagnose or treat patients on their own, although they may conduct the initial part of the consultation alone. There is no obligation to allow a student to be present when you see a doctor. However, we appeciate your help in their training. Practice Manager Marion Anderson Practice Nurses
