PATIENT VOLUNTEERS

Can you help us?

The practice team love to teach and we have regular groups of medical students with us.  Meeting real people is so helpful for their learning. Would you have 45 minutes free usually the afternoon, for an occasional visit to the practice?

We're looking for patient volunteers both to talk about their experience of different medical conditions and be willing for students to practice physical examination skills (like listening to chests and feeling tummies)

Please let reception know and we will add you on to our list.

Thank You
