Thank you for choosing to become a QUB teaching practice. We look forward to supporting you in this rewarding role.  Here is our new GP Handbook which provides an overview for practices of what they might need to know.

QUB GP Clinical Handbook

You may want to use the short paragraph below to explain to your patients what it means to be a teaching practice

We are a Queen's University Belfast Medical School Teaching Practice hosting Medical students on placement. The curriculum and learning objectives for each stage in their undergraduate training ensures that by the end of medical school they have a broad understanding of the role of a GP and General Practice as a career option. They benefit hugely from speaking to patients, and many of our patients say how much they enjoy talking to medical students. As a patient you may be seen by a medical student under the supervision of a qualified Practice clinician. You can, of course, decline this option. Please do let our reception team know if you would prefer not to be seen by our student. These are our doctors of the future and as a practice we are proud to be a part of their journey.

Each year a practice is required to sign an SLA with the medical school at QUB. The current SLA and further details can be can be accessed at the GP Sub Deanery website.
