Medical Students start soon! Posted or Updated on 26 Apr 2024

The Old Fire Station Surgery is involved in teaching medical students from the University of Southampton.

Students learn a huge amount from talking to patients and thinking about diagnoses and management. You have a lot to teach them. The student may observe the consultation, lead the consultation while being observed by the GP or talk to you alone and then present your story to the GP.

The students are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as all members of the practice and their code of conduct is set out clearly by the General Medical Council. The student will not be able to make any decision about your care independently. Your problem will always be reviewed by a qualified practitioner.

If you do not want a student present, please tell the receptionist or doctor, we completely respect this decision, and the doctor will be happy to see you alone.

If you are happy to let the student, be involved in the consultation, please let the doctor know.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Our Medical Students will be here from Monday 29th April 2024 to Friday 14th June 2024
