We are an accredited training practice for GP registrars, trainee doctors, medical students and both undergraduate and postgraduate nurses.
Dr John Rohan is a certified trainer for GP registrars. He furthers their education and personal experience in family medicine before they start on their own as fully fledged GPs. Registrars are fully qualified doctors, with extensive hospital experience and they normally spend up to a year in training with us.
Sometimes you may be given an appointment to see a registrar and your permission sought for the consultation to be recorded on video for teaching purposes. Declining to give your permission will not affect your treatment in any way.
Dr Beth Macmillan supervises F2 doctors from the North Middlesex Hospital and teaches student doctors completing the psychiatry in the community module from The Royal Free Hospital and University College London medical schools. F2 doctors are fully qualified junior doctors who work in general practice for up to 6 months before deciding on a specialist career.
If they are present during your consultation we hope you welcome them, but please let us know if you are not happy to have them in attendance.
Our nurses are qualified to provide training and work-experience for both undergraduate and postgraduate nurses.
To support our learning needs we have a small but well catalogued library together with a collection of online resources that suit our practice needs. We have included the links to these sites as you might find them useful.
The London Deanery is responsible for the postgraduate medical training in North and South London and offers information for GPs, practice managers and practice nurses. The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board and BMJ Learning are useful web resources for continuing professional development and postgraduate training for doctors and other healthcare professionals.
In the UK the Royal College of General Practitioners is the academic organisation for general practitioners or family doctors. Other useful web resources are the Londonwide LMCs, Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, British National Formulary, Trickcyclists - Psychiatry and the Medical Defence Union
For systematic reviews The Cochrane Library provides high-quality evidence-based information. It includes the NHS databases DARE and NHS EED which addresses both the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of healthcare interventions.
MEDLINE is the best biomedical database of published papers in peer reviewed journals and it can be accessed through the Pubmed Entrez search interface.
Only links to journals relevant to Primary care health issues are listed.
In the UK, The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) is the independent organisation for the NHS and is responsible for providing guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention and treatment of ill health.
No single search engine is far-reaching in its coverage of the web. However, Google Scholar Advanced (beta version) allows you to search for publications normally hidden behind subscription barriers and gets round some of the password protected areas. Google Advanced offers several options to sharpen your search strategy and Google Image is the most wide ranging image search on the web.
Meta search engines like SUMSearch, TRIP and Omni searches a number of online databases through a single search interface. These are best used to quickly identify some expert information to answer a clinical question, followed by an in-depth search in MEDLINE.
WHO - World Health Organisation is the directing and co-ordinating authority for health within the United Nations system.
