Bolton Training Practice
The Practice
We are a small practice situated in the suburban North East fringe of the town. We aim to combine quality of care for our patients with a high quality of life for ourselves. We are egalitarian, treating all who work with us as colleagues and not expecting anyone to contribute more than we ourselves and being committed to rewarding colleagues fairly. Out of hours cover is provided by the GP Emergency Centre.
The practice has developed a leading role in education, with activity in the following areas:-
- Two G.P.Registrars in post from August 2003
- Medical student training
- Training Nurse Practitioners from the University of Liverpool
- Practice Nurse training for all new Practice Nurses in Wigan and Bolton
- Dr.Page is the Course Organiser for the Wigan & Bolton Vocational Training Scheme

The Training
As a G.P.Registrar in our Practice you will be treated as a Partner, with your own consulting room and computer terminal. You will be provided with the equipment needed for your work and study. We will encourage your associate membership of the College of General Practitioners and will involve you in the management of the practice.
All G.P.Registrars in the country are required to take "Summative Assessment," it consists of four components- a multiple choice paper, a video of your consultations, an audit and the Trainer's Report. We will support you through this process as much as possible. We will act as a resource for your audit. We have a practice video camera that can easily be set up in the registrar's consulting room. We will make every effort to ensure it comes up to standard.
Your trainer will devote a lot of time to your education ensuring it is relevant, interesting, varied and tailored to your individual needs, and to summative assessment. In return we will expect you to take a lead role in assessing, planning and actioning your educational needs. You will be asked to evaluate the teaching we provide for you. We hope you will sit the MRCGP examination.
