GP TRAINING
At Whalley Surgery we have an enthusiastic approach to medicine,
education and training.
The trainers at our Surgery are
Dr Kris Wlodarczyk (Dr Kris) and Dr Chris Dalton for ST3s
Dr Tim Golding for FY2 Doctors.
Dr Kris has been training at the Practice since 1998
Dr Dalton became a trainer in 2008.
If you are thinking of joining us for your training, please contact
our Practice Manager, Pauline Stewart via email at pauline.stewart2@nhs.net
or alternatively you can telephone her on (01254) 823273 and
she will be happy to arrange a meeting or phone call. We can discuss
your specific requirements and organise a visit to the Practice.
The practice is fully computerised with full NHSnet and Internet
connections. There is ready access to electronic information on
the Practice Computer iSOFT System. We maintain full electronic
patient records with a high standard of information. The Practice
has been using a computerised system since the early 1980s and has
been completely "paper light" since 2000.
The Surgery has access to GP led beds in Clitheroe Community Hospital
and close links to the visiting consultants who undertake out-patient
clinics there. Our local hospitals are within easy reach, Blackburn
and Burnley are the main providers, but we also have links with
Preston and Manchester Hospitals.
New doctors will undergo an induction process of formal teaching
and shadowing Partners and other staff which usually lasts 7-14
days before being 'let loose'. Day release teaching for Registrars
is currently run from Blackburn on Wednesdays. You will also get
formal tutorials at Whalley, generally on Mondays and Fridays.
Since September 2004 the out of hours service has been provided
through a Blackburn, Darwen, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley wide GP
Co-operative. GP Registrars are required to work twelve sessions
at the Co-op over the year and will be supervised either by Dr Kris
or accredited trainers from the Co-op. FY2 doctors do not need to
cover out of hours.
