GP Registrar Training

GP training is designed to give doctors a solid grounding in the skills and experiences that will prepare them for GP life. This also includes giving them experiences in the acute specialties that interact most closely with primary care.

The purpose of GP training programmes is to equip potential GPs for the wide range of patients, conditions and challenges they will face as a principal in general practice.

Registrars are fully qualified doctors who have decided they would like to become GPs.

They will undertake a minimum of four months of ‘on-the-job’ training with us here at Portcullis Surgery and are supervised by Dr Catherine Beanland.

Current Registrars or Recently Qualified GPs working with us at the practice

Dr Emmanuel Kobia and Dr Rachael Hayhurst both passed their GP training exams and are now fully qualified GPs.

Dr Hayhurst will be taking up a position as a salaried GP closer to home in Churchmere practice in August. We wish her all the best in her future career and will miss her very much.

We are pleased to announce that Dr Emmanuel Kobia has accepted a salaried GP position at the practice and will continue working with us in August after a brief holiday period. He will be working with us on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
