168 Medical Group is a training practice. This means that some of our GPs support and train medical students. These students will usually be newly qualified and undertaking post-graduate study or will be at the end of their studies and close to becoming qualified doctors, these students will be supervised by a qualified professional. We have also been an accredited Nurse Training Practice and have had student nurses with us since 2014.
We will advise you at the time of your appointment if a student (nurse or doctor) will be either leading your appointment or sitting in – and if you are uncomfortable with this for any reason, please do not hesitate to advise our reception team.
The practice also occasionally participates in research studies designed to improve future health care. All research studies are closely governed to ensure that patient confidentiality is protected and maintained and that the studies have passed the proper ethical requirements. If a study involves specific patients, those patients will be asked whether they would like to participate and given information. They have the right to decline involvement. It is entirely voluntary.
