Chorleywood Health Centre is an established Training Practice, to educate tomorrow’s Doctors and Clinicians (Physios, Nurses, Health Care Assistants, Pharmacists) and to help them achieve their full potential. We believe that seeing a Trainee often improves patients’ experience, as we can afford more time and discuss to a patient’s problems. Being an Educator is truly one of the highlights of my job as a GP.
Being an approved training practice means that:
- Patients can directly contribute to the training of future GPs
- Patients who consult with the GPR will have longer consultations
- It keeps all doctors and nurses keep in touch with new medical developments and skills
- It improves all doctors and nurses consultation and training skills
- It ensures that clinical standards and standards of medical record keeping are maintained
- It helps with recruitment of high quality doctors to the practice for job vacancies
We provide first-class training facilities with new Consulting rooms for trainees, extension and refurbishment finished in winter 2022, with in-house diagnostic equipment such as top-range ophthalmoscopes and otoscopes, electronic stethoscopes, interactive education/meeting boards, ECG, spirometry, 24 hour blood pressure all in-house.
We have a range of clinicians for Trainees to learn from, including having GPs, Nurses, Health Care Assistants, Pharmacists and First Contact Physiotherapists.
Patients may be offered an appointment with a qualified doctor gaining experience in general practice or be asked if one may be present whilst you consult your own doctor.
If you prefer to see your doctor in private, please let us know.
