Our Staff

Undergraduate Training

As a practice we are committed to medical education.  We currently teach 3rd year medical students led by various GPs.  These students are from Glasgow University and come to us under the auspices of  Greater Glasgow NHS University Trust.

The under-graduate students are all aware of the importance of Patient Confidentiality.  You will be asked if you are willing to allow students to be present/involved in your consultation, at the time you book your appointment or on checking in for the appointment.

If you do not wish to have students present please inform the reception staff.
