Training Practice

Leek Health Centre is an approved training practice for GP registrars, fully qualified doctors specializing in general practice. GP registrars undergo six to twelve months of training, covering all aspects of GP work, including surgery consultations, home visits, and on-call duties.

Video Recording of Consultations: Occasionally, consultations may be video-recorded (with patient consent) for confidential review and training purposes.

Medical Students: Medical students sometimes attend the practice as part of their studies. Patients are always asked for permission before students observe consultations.
