GP Registrars


Rutherford Medical Centre is a training and teaching practice. Fully qualified doctors including GP Registrars and Foundation Year 2 Doctors are attached to the practice for 4 to 12 months to gain valuable experience in general practice.

Registrars have a great deal of hospital experience and bring new ideas and enthusiasm to the care we provide. They are under the supervision of the partners at all times. 

 

Medical Students

We have medical students from Liverpool University Medical School attached to our practice for short periods. They learn about general practice through observing consultations, taking histories and examining patients under the supervision of the practice doctors.

We are grateful to our patients who agree to be seen by the students, as they are helping to shape the doctors of the future.
