Training at the Yellow Wing

 

63407_image_group1

The Yellow Wing is now a training practice

Dr Fleming and Dr Tennick are both qualified trainers. You are likely to meet our young GPs as they pass through and we hope you will enjoy helping them as they help you. They are all fully qualified doctors who need to develop their experience within General Practice. We have also been involved with training medical students over the years.

GPs used to train by old fashioned apprenticeship. We still do, but it is now a lengthy and prescriptive process. After completing foundation training, GP trainees start specialist training and rotate through hospital and GP placements, typically over 3 years, to gain sufficient experience and expertise to become independent GPs. Trainees are supervised throughout and must complete a detailed log of their experiences and skills. They must be observed directly, submit video evidence and complete rigorous practical and written exams to succeed. You also have a say – they have to undertake a patient satisfaction questionnaire.
