New Longton Surgery is an accredited training practice.

Medical Students

Medical students are attached to the surgery for four or five week units throughout the year. All our students are from The University of Lancashire, and come here to gain experience in general practice whilst they are training to become a doctor.
The students are placed with all members of the clinical team; the receptionist may ask when you attend for an appointment if you have any objection to the student’s presence.
The students do find this time invaluable and rewarding, and your co-operation is greatly appreciated. If you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist.
