Nexus Health Group is an accredited GP Training practice. 

The types of trainee or junior doctor that you, as a registered patient, may come into contact with are as follows:

GP Registrars (ST1, ST2 and ST3)

A GP Registrar or GP Trainee is a fully qualified Doctor who has competed all their medical student training and has also worked for two years as a Foundation Year Doctor. They are now doing the specialist training to become a GP. This will take three years if they work full-time or longer if part-time.

The first two years (ST1 and ST2) are spent in General Practice or in speciality hospital posts (e.g. A &E, psychiatry, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology). In their 3rd and final year (ST3) they are usually in the practice for 12 months. They complete various assessments during this time including a knowledge test and an assessment of their consultations. Feedback is also taken from colleagues and patients. You may be asked at times if you give permission for your consultation to be recorded for assessment or to complete a feedback questionnaire.

All GP Registrars have a trainer – a senior GP who supervises their clinical work and their training.

Foundation Year Doctors (F2s)

Prior to becoming a Registrar, and having already obtained a medical degree, trainees spend 2 years in Foundation Training. During the second year of foundation training, 4 months is spent in general practice. F2 Doctors remain under clinical supervision (as do all Doctors in training) but take on increasing responsibility for patient care. They have a much longer appointment time allocated as they need more time than a qualified GP to manage each individual case. At the end of their training, F2 Doctors will have begun to demonstrate the skill requirements that are essential for hospital or general practice training.

Medical Students

Medical Students: Before you become a UK Doctor, you first have to obtain degrees in medicine and surgery from a medical school. Medical school training varies between 4 to 6 years depending on whether the student is entering training as a postgraduate trainee. Medical students spend occasional ‘taster’ days at PGGP. They may see patients under supervision of their trainer. We will always ask your permission if we are booking you a consultation with a medical student.

After graduation, the newly qualified doctors enter the 2-year Foundation Programme.

Nursing and Medical Students

We are also joined regularly by medical and nursing students who also seek to further their training. Seeing patients and our team at work is import for them. However, if you prefer to see your doctor or practice nurse along, please let us know and we will respect your wish.

Video-recording of consultations

For education purposes, your doctor may wish to video your consultation. You will be asked if this is acceptable to you when you book the consultation.

All recordings will remain confidential and are only shared with other GP tutors. All videos are destroyed within one year of recording.

If you do not wish your consultation to be recorded, please tell us. This is not a problem and will not affect your consultation in any way.

Due diligence

We have taken action to understand and address the risks of modern slavery within our operations, including:

• The development of robust processes around whistleblowing, grievance, disciplinary and bullying and harassment policies, to provide both staff and patients with assurance that modern slavery concerns will be raised and dealt with appropriately
• While our training doesn't contain a module specifically about modern slavery, our staff are trained to spot and raise safeguarding concerns which includes exploitation of all forms. 
• Putting in place Strict standards for conduct in the workplace, mirroring the NHS code of conduct, as referenced within our staff handbook and code of conduct policy
• Ensuring inappropriate employment practices are avoided by adhering to our Illegal Working Prevention, DBS, and Recruitment policies, to ensure identity checks, DBS, qualifications and references are in place
• Continued development of policies around safeguarding

NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised and that the required disclosure is shown below. However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used for any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make comparisons with other practices. The average pay for GPs working in Nexus Health Group in the last financial year was £70,591 before tax and National Insurance
