TRAINING

The Broughshane Practice is approved for the training of GP Registrars and junior doctors. During their placement with us they may hold consultations or 'sit in' on such.

We also train medical, nursing and administration students.

All of these personal are bound by a code of confidentiality. Nevertheless, no 'sitting in' will take place without your approval. Placements can last from three weeks to a year.

We are very grateful for your co-operation.

RESEARCH

Broughshane Medical Practice is involved in medical research. From time to time you may be asked if you would like to participate in an appropriate piece of research. Any participation is greatly appreciated but you are not expected to take part unless you wish to do so.

PATIENT VOLUNTARY EQUIPMENT FUND

This practice and the people of this area are indeed indebted to the above fund for modern emergency equipment not provided in general practice by the NHS. The equipment is freely available to other doctors and their patients working in the area. Please ask at reception if you would like to contact a member of the committee.
