We are proud to tell you that from the 15th September 2025, the Mount View Practice will be training University Medical Students.
The first stage in becoming a Doctor involves 5 years of University Education where a student learns about all aspects of medicine and clinical practice. During their training students undertake placements in GP Practices where they gain knowledge of how General Practice works.
The students who are from Lancaster Medical School at Lancaster University are in the practice for 3 days a week for a period of 7 weeks at a time, throughout the year.
What we ask of our patients
You may be asked to consult with a medical student before you see a GP. As they are training, and as part of their education, we may ask you to allow a student to discuss your medical history or problems with you or examine you either observed by or then discussed with the GP. This means that you may be at your appointment for longer than usual to give the student time to consult with you and then discuss with their supervising GP.
We hope that you will assist with their training by agreeing to consult with them if an appointment is offered to you and your cooperation will be appreciated. However, if for any reason you would prefer not to see them, please make us aware when you make an appointment.
