From time to time the practice is involved in the training of senior medical students attached to Durham Medical School in Stockton and Newcastle University. You may be asked for your permission for a student to be present during your consultation. If you would prefer not to have a student present during your consultation with the doctor or nurse simply let the receptionist know and an appointment with an alternative Clinician will be booked, please be aware this may be a different day. Your decision will not affect your care.
