Milestone Surgery is a GP Training practice for GP Registrars.
Dr Neil Gibbons is the GP Trainer, and the current Registrars are Dr Osama Guirguis and Dr Amina Masood. As Dr Masood is part-time she will overlap with Dr Guirguis until August 2008 after which she will be with us for a year.
Once a year a Registrar will join the practice for a year (pro rata if part time). He/she will have had a wide experience of hospital medicine, and the purpose of the training year is to experience the wide expression of medical conditions in the community and understand how patients deal with this. At the end of the year the Registrar should be well-equipped to discern patients' problems, manage them appropriately, and at the same time develop a rapport with the patient which facilitates a good outcome.
During the training year the Registrar will work alongside the other doctors, seeing patients in surgery, in clinics and on visits. Besides having tutorials in the practice, he/she will attend courses (eg at Frimley Park), and gain further experience in wider aspects of medicine. A requirement of training is to produce a videotape of recorded consultations (all made with the patient's permission), so you may be asked if you mind this in future, and there is no problem if you decline. Most of our previous Registrars have gained the MRCGP qualification, with merits or distinction. From 2008 the new MRCGP exam is a mandatory requirement to become a GP in the UK.
To become a Training Practice, Milestone has had to prove its worth with regard to its quality standards, to its general organisation, and to its commitment to keeping up to date and teaching.
We have a good close relationship with the Consultants and staff at Frimley Park Hospital. Postgraduate meetings are held in the Conference Room once a month. There is a Trainer/Registrar Group meeting held on Tuesday lunchtimes at FPH, currently led by Dr Gibbons. The local Vocational Training Scheme is held at FPH on Thursday afternoons.
The Frimley Trainers Group exists to foster educational and general support. They meet about four times a year, and are in regular contact via the Postgraduate Centre at FPH or via email/telephone.
