• Continued contact through your journey
• Wide knowledge of various services within Torbay that could help you
• Support with self-referral to chosen services

Training

GP Registrars

We enjoy teaching and are keen to contribute towards the training and development of GPs for our future generations. We invite patients to help us make their experience rewarding and challenging. Our registrars are qualified doctors who have had a great deal of hospital experience and are now working in general practice, mentored by Drs Collins,  Dr Veloso and Dr Rowe for their final year before becoming General Practitioners.

Medical Students

The practice works with the Peninsula Medical School. During the year, the partners have 2nd year and 5th year medical students in the practice so that they can experience how General Practice works. You will be informed of this when you make an appointment.
If you prefer not to have a medical student present during your consultation, please say so and this will be arranged.
