GP Training

Holmhurst Medical Centre is an accredited NHS training practice for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors (specialist training GP registrars).

GP registrars are fully qualified doctors who have completed hospital training and wish to pursue a career in general practice. They spend up to twelve months at the surgery to improve their consulting skills and widen their experience in primary healthcare. The GP registrars hold daily surgeries like the other doctors at the practice, and are mentored by a GP trainer. Dr Peter Johnson and Dr Jane Hammond are both approved trainers for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Postgraduate Deanery.
