QUB Teaching Practice
Since September 2023 we have been a Queen's University Belfast Medical School Teaching Practice hosting Medical students on placement.
The curriculum and learning objectives for each stage in their undergraduate training ensures that by the end of medical school all students have a broad understanding of the role of a GP and General Practice as a career option. Our students benefit hugely from speaking to patients, and many of our patients say how much they enjoy talking to medical students.
As a patient you may be seen by a medical student under the supervision of a qualified Practice clinician. You can, of course, decline this option.
Please do let our reception team know if you would prefer not to be seen by our student.
These are our doctors of the future and as a practice we are proud to be a part of their journey.
