The Integrated Care Partnership is an NHS training practice for both undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors (GP registrars).
It has a long tradition of supporting the development and training of new doctors, and feels very strongly that to teach modern medicine, you need to be at the forefront of modern medicine.
GP registrars are fully qualified doctors who have completed their hospital training and wish to pursue a career in general practice. They spend twelve to eighteen months with The Integrated Care Partnership to improve their consulting skills and widen their experience in primary healthcare. The GP registrars hold daily surgeries like the other doctors at the practice and are mentored by a GP trainer. Drs Richard Stott, Richard Cowlard, Michael Bunn, Subo Emanuel, Heather Carr-White, Clare Crabtree and Katherine Dale are all apporved trainers for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex postgraduate Deanery.
Occasionally, medical students from the London teaching hospitals will be attached to the Integrated Care Partnership. During their time at the practice they will observe consultations with the doctor or nurse. This is an essential part of training the next generation of doctors who could be responsible for your future care. Reception staff will always ask if you agree to a medical student observing your consultation. If you would prefer not to have a student present during your consultation please let us know.
