GP Trainees and Medical & Nursing Students

Doctors In Training

Keith Health Centre is now recognised as a training practice to teach doctors the skills of General Practice.  These doctors are fully qualified and their placements in the practice will vary from 6 months to a year.

As part of their training Junior Doctors may sometimes wish to record patient consultations.  Your consent will always be asked for before any such recordings are made, and you will be able to withdraw consent at the end of the consultation if you change your mind. If you feel uncomfortable about video recordings, please let us know before the appointment.  This will not affect your consultation in any way.

We are grateful for your co-operation in the important work of teaching future GPs.

Medical Students

We also offer training for Aberdeen University medical students. Students may sit in on doctors’ consultations and also consult with the full supervision of a GP. The community and practice nursing teams support placements for nursing students from the Robert Gordon University. Student nurses may sit in with practice nurses or attend home visits with the community nurse or health visitor. We will always ask you when making an appointment or attending the surgery if you mind seeing a student. Please tell us at any time if you would prefer not to do this.
