Training Practice

Historically, Lambeth Walk Group Practice has been owned and run by King’s College to act as a training practice for GP’s and medical students. Since 2006 the practice separated from King’s, while maintaining a close working relationship with the college.

The practice regularly trains medical students from year 1 through to year 5. It also currently partners with King’s to train international medical students and the London Deanery to train GP Registrars.

You may occasionally be asked for consent for a medical student to be present at your consultation. You are under no obligation and can of course refuse.

The practice is also regularly involved with clinical trials and pilots which often provide additional medical services to our patients. We pride ourselves on providing an excellent standard of medical care to all sectors of our community.

GPs in Training

Our practice is approved to train fully qualified doctors who wish to specialise in general practice. Our GP registrar will have had 2 to 4 years of experience as a qualified hospital doctor working in various specialities. They consult patients on their own, under the mentorship of our trainer.

Occasionally we ask permission to video a consultation. You will always be asked in advance and are given the option not to take part, and this will not affect your care in any way. No recording will be taken without your consent and the camera will be switched off on request. These videos are used only for educational purposes with the doctor doing the consultation and are destroyed after use.

Medical Students

Medical students are sometimes attached to the practice for 2 to 3 weeks as part of their training. If you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist.
