Teaching and Training
Teaching
At
St Bartholomew’s Medical Centre, we often have attached
students of medicine, nursing, health visiting and midwifery.
We are grateful for the patience shown by our patients in helping
with the clinical training of these students. All patients will
always be asked whether they are agreeable to the student being
present during a consultation. All decisions about your care always
remain with their supervising doctor or nurse. They are bound
by the same rules of confidentiality as the trained clinicians
Medical Students
We
have medical students at various stages of their Oxford University
Medicine course. Dr Peter Burke is tutor for year 5 students who
spend 6 weeks at a time with us. Because these students spend
a longer period of time with us, they rotate around the different
surgeries and clinics that take place in the practice during their
stay.

University Medical Course see http://www.dphpc.ox.ac.uk/primarycare/
Registrar Training
St
Bartholomew’s Medical Centre is approved for the post-graduate
training of doctors hoping to pursue a career in general practice,
and both Dr. Burke and Dr. Fay are approved trainers. Doctors
who have completed their degrees and have then had a minimum of
3 years post-graduate work experience in hospitals, join the practice
for a year to work with us as ‘GP Registrars’ to complete
their training. Part of their training and assessment involves
trainers and examiners observing the GP registrar consulting with
patients on video tape, and so from time to time you will be asked
to consent to consultations being recorded in this way. Similarly,
at regular intervals, the trainers also have to submit videos
of themselves consulting patients to assessors as part of the
process of having their training approval renewed.
