Teaching Practice
We are a teaching practice. Teaching practices have to achieve the highest quality standards to be accredited.
This means from time to time we will have medical and nursing students observing, learning and working with us. It is a very important function to train the nurses and doctors of the future in an everyday clinic.
We will always seek your approval if we have students with us during your consultation.
Registrar doctors will also be working with us. These doctors are qualified doctors who are working towards their specialist general practice qualification, which is a further three years training after they first graduate as doctors. They are supervised by a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners who practice in the centre.
