Training practice

Cavendish Medical Centre is an approved training practice.

What is a training practice?

A training practice is a GP surgery that is approved to support the clinical training of doctors and other healthcare professionals. We work closely with the University of Liverpool Medical School and the NHS training schemes to provide placements for:

  • GP registrars – Fully qualified doctors who are undertaking their final stage of specialist training to become independent General Practitioners. They are closely supervised and have regular teaching and review sessions with experienced GPs.
  • Foundation year doctors (FY1 and FY2) – These doctors are in their first or second year of postgraduate medical training and may be gaining experience in general practice as part of their rotation.
  • Medical students – University students studying medicine who join us on placement to observe consultations, learn about patient care, and practice their clinical skills under supervision.

What does this mean for the patients?

  • You may be offered an appointment with a resident doctor such as a GP Registrar or FY1/2 doctor. They are fully qualified doctors and are always supervised by a GP within the practice.
  • Sometimes, your consultation may be observed by a medical student or resident doctor, and you will informed of this beforehand.
  • Occasionally, consultations may be video recorded for educational purposes and destroyed after use. If this is requested, you will be fully informed, and your consent will be required before any recording takes place. You do not have to agree to this, and your care will not be affected in any way if you choose not to take part.

Why is training important?

As a training practice, we are:

  • Investing in the next generation of healthcare professionals
  • Helping to address the shortage of GPs and healthcare workers
  • Maintaining high clinical standards through teaching and supervision

GP net earnings

All GP surgeries are required to declare the mean earnings (average pay) for doctors working to deliver NHS services to patients.

The mean earnings for GPs working in Cavendish Medical Centre in the financial year ended 31 March 2025 was £66,800 before deduction of employee’s superannuation
contributions, tax and National Insurance. This is the average pay for the 1 full-time GP and 5 part-time GPs who worked in the practice for more than 6 months during that year.

Please note that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it does not take into account how much time doctors spend working in the surgery and therefore should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other surgeries.
