GP Registrars

The Maples is a training practice and hosts GP trainees/registrars. They are qualified doctors undertaking a structured postgraduate training programme to become fully qualified GPs.

Working under the supervision of experienced GPs, they see patients across all ages and conditions — from acute illness to chronic disease and mental health — while benefiting from protected learning time, supervision, and formal assessments. The three-year GP training programme combines placements in GP surgeries and relevant hospital specialties, culminating in the MRCGP examination, after which they can practise independently as A General Practioner.

Why We’re Proud to Be a Training Practice

Not every GP surgery can train registrars, it’s a mark of quality. To be approved as a training practice, we must demonstrate:

  • Excellent patient care
  • Experienced, qualified GP trainers
  • A rich variety of patient cases for learning
  • Commitment to the highest standards and continuous improvement

Hosting registrars allows us to help shape the future of the NHS while benefiting from the fresh ideas and perspectives they bring.

If you see a GP registrar at The Maples, remember:
You’re being cared for by an experienced doctor, building on years of training, and dedicated to providing you and your family with the very best healthcare.
