Training & Research At Peel Croft Surgery

Dr Faarup is a registered trainer for the West Midlands Deanery. This practice accepts G.P.Registrars and other doctors as part of their continuing development. If you are a doctor interested in joining the practice on a training attachment, please contact either Dr Faarup or the Practice Manager, Tim Hinchley.

For patients the only effect this training may have is that on occasions the doctors may be using a video camera to record a consultation, and you may be asked to agree to this- you have every right to refuse if you so wish.

The practice also undertakes training for students from Derby Medical School.
