The practice is enthusiastically involved in training GP registrars.
Within the practice the approved trainers are Dr N Patel and Dr V Bui. However, the whole team is included in training in some way. We feel that with the experience and the enthusiasm of both trainers and non-trainers alike, the skill mix, and huge resource within the practice that is the patients, the opportunities for learning are now enormous.
Nurse Training
At The Blackheath Standard Surgery the approved trainers are Fiona Meany and Gail McMullan. The Health care Assistants and the whole team is also included in training in some way. The training will give opportunities to plan and provide nursing care, treatment and health education to patients of all ages.
This gives prospects to gain crucial skills such as critical thinking, decision making and be able to manage patients which will benefit trainers in their professional journey.
Medical Student Teaching
The practice is enthusiastically involved in teaching final year undergraduate medical students from King’s College Medical School.
Students come to The Blackheath Standard Surgery to gain experience in general practice, but also just to learn the basics, like how to talk to patients, how to take a medical history and examination techniques.
