Practice Team

Training practice

The Park Road Surgery has been a teaching and training practice since 1984 and participates in the advanced training of qualified doctors who have had extensive hospital experience and who wish to enter general practice.

The ‘GP Registrar’ joins the Practice for a period of twelve months whereas ‘foundation’ and ‘innovative training program’ doctors join the practice for four to six months and are occasionally part time.

Dr Nicolette Potts and Dr Nicholas Grundy  are GP Trainers with overall responsibility for education, but training involves all staff at the Practice, clinical and non clinical. Dr. Sean Gallagher has responsibility for training F2 Doctors, who also have placements at this practice.

The Practice is visited and assessed both as a teaching organisation and healthcare provider on a regular basis by the London Deanery, which is part of the University of London.

Occasionally within the consultation the Dr in training may video a consultation, or have another Dr sitting in and observing. Your consent will be requested and you are always at liberty to decline.

We very much value teaching and education and believe in the benefit it brings to all involved.

GP net earnings

All GP Practices are required to declare mean earnings (i.e. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in the practice of The Park Road Surgery in the last financial year was £89,012 before tax and National Insurance.

This is for 5 full time GPs and 3 part time GPs and 1 locum GP who worked in the practice for more than six months.
