Medical Students
The Vale of Neath Practice became a training practice for medical students in September 2008.
Students from the new Medical School at Swansea University are attached to the practice during the academic year.
Currently the students attend on Tuesdays. The students sit in with the doctors in the surgery as a very valuable part of undergraduate training.
As a patient, you will be informed beforehand if there is a medical student present. If you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please say so and you will see the doctor alone. Your co-operation in this important area is much appreciated by students and doctors alike.
Dr Daniels mentors the medical students; however, all members of the team enjoy the stimulation of training and are committed to providing a high quality educational attachment in a friendly working environment. |

Registrars
The practice was approved as a training practice in August 2009. Dr Griffiths and Dr Westwood are the appointed GP trainers, however, all doctors take part in teaching.
A GP registrar is attached to the practice. The registrar is a fully qualified doctor who in undertaking postgraduate training in general practice.
Patients will be offered appointments with the GP Registrar. At times patients may be asked if the registrar can video the consultation for training purposes. All consultations are strictly confidential and are used for training purposes only.
Dr Divya Pradhan is joining the practice on August 4th 2010 for one year. Our previous registrar Dr Amy Regulski has left the practice to go onto maternity leave and will complete her training in Newport, we wish her all the best.
