Practice Team

Training practice

Claremont Medical Centre is a training practice for GP registrars.

A GP registrar is a fully qualified, experienced doctor who is completing a further 3 years specialist training in order to become a GP.

GP registrars will work as part of the practice team and have daily surgeries (often with longer appointment times), undertake home visits and help with on call doctor duties. Their placements with us vary in length, depending on their stage of training, from 4 months to over 12 months. They are supervised and assessed on a regular basis.

Patients may, on occasion, be asked whether they mind having their consultation videoed “video consultation” for assessment purposes and/or to complete patient satisfaction questionnaires. These videos and assessments will always remain confidential and are strictly used only for the GP registrar to be assessed by their GP trainer.

GP net earnings

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. The average pay for GPs working within Claremont Medical Centre in the last financial year was £59,410 before tax, national insurance, employee pension costs and practice expenses. This is for three GP partners, and five salaried GPs.

Disclaimer: NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown above. However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earning is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
