Training
The clinicians of the practice occasionally attend training organised by the local CCG to keep themselves up to date with the latest requirements. On these days the practice is closed for the afternoon with urgent cover by NHS 111 organised by the CCG.
Training Practice
Coachmans Medical practice has been approved for GP and medical student training and each year one or more fully qualified doctors with experience in hospital medicine may spend time with the practice as part of their preparation to become general practitioners. They share all aspects of patient care and the partners welcome their contribution to the team.
